The Experimental Neurology Group is led by Professor Peter Brown and has made major advances in understanding how abnormal interactions between brain cells cause slowness of movement and stiffness in patients with Parkinson’s Disease. The group takes a multidisciplinary approach combining experimental approaches with sophisticated signals analysis and modelling. The group’s ultimate goal is to utilise their discoveries to improve treatment in Parkinson’s Disease and other illnesses where similar principles apply.   Accordingly, the Experimental Neurology Group works very closely with Oxford Functional Neurosurgery, and together forms the Functional Neurosurgery and Experimental Neurology (FNEN) Group. The latter is jointly led by Professor Tipu Aziz, Professor Peter Brown, and Mr Alex Green.
