Abstract

Jerrold L. Vitek, M.D., Ph.D., is an internationally renowned neurologist who specializes in the surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and tremor. He has been a pioneer in the field of deep brain stimulation (DBS). His primary research interests include the development of DBS and other surgical techniques for the treatment of neurological (Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and tremor) and psychiatric disease. His work in understanding physiological mechanisms that underlie the development of Parkinson’s disease and dystonia and how DBS works to improve movement in these patients has led to the advancement of novel brain targets and new application for DBS in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Vitek is a Professor and Chair for the Department of Neurology at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN.
