 The
Milgram experiment is one of the most famous studies of obedience in psychology
to date. Begun in 1961, the experiment was done in order to better comprehend the acts of genocide committed by the Nazi’s in World War Two. Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at
Yale University, was the mastermind behind the study. The focus of the
experiment was “conflict between obedience to authority and personal
conscience”. Milgram wanted to explore the justifications of genocide based on
the testimonies given by the accused during the Nuremberg War Criminal Trials. |

 From the first description ofparalysis agitansin “An Essay on the Shaking Palsy” by James Parkinson in 1817 to the treatment of patients using levodopa developed by Arvid Carlsson, scientists and physicians have been working toward understanding and treating parkinsonian symptoms since the discovery of the disease. New research is furthering these goals by advancing the extent of knowledge needed to treat and eventually cure this disorder. Areas currently being studied include research into the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with emphasis on the improvement of existing parkinsonian models and novel treatments including gene therapy and stem cells. |
