The Brain-Drug Problem
Author: COMAP
Background:
Researchers on brain disorders test the effects of the new medical drugs— for example, dopamine against Parkinson’s disease—with intracerebral injections. To this end, they must estimate the size and the shape of the spatial distribution of the drug after the injection, in order to estimate accurately the region of the brain that the drug has affected.
