Andres Lozano
Medical Researcher | Exploring Neural Interventions for Parkinson's and Depression
About
Andres Lozano presents groundbreaking research on neurological conditions and potential therapeutic interventions. His work focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind Parkinson's disease and depression, with particular attention to identifying controllable factors that could influence these conditions.
At TEDxCaltech 2013, Lozano explored the concept of a neurological "switch" that might offer new approaches to treating both Parkinson's disease and depression. His research suggests there may be common pathways or mechanisms that could be targeted therapeutically, potentially offering hope to millions of patients suffering from these debilitating conditions.

Parkinson's, depression and the switch that might turn them off
Deep brain stimulation is becoming very precise. This technique allows surgeons to place electrodes in almost any area of the brain, and turn them up or down -- like a radio dial or thermostat -- to correct dysfunction. Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson's instantly stops shaking and brain areas eroded by Alzheimer's are brought back to life.
