The "placebo effect" refers to a perceived or actual improvement in a
medical condition after a patient has received a sham or simulated
medical intervention. The Latin
word "placebo" means "I will
please", and originally referred to a medicine created more to please than to benefit the patient.
Dr. Stoessl and his colleagues were the first to show that people
experiencing the placebo effect have specific changes in their brain
activity. They studied the brain's uptake of dopamine during activation of the placebo effect, using PET,
Positron Emission Tomography, imaging. The results of the research were published in the Lancet Neurology,
2002, among other journals, including Science, and Biological
Psychiatry.
Dr. Jon Stoessl is a highly recognized expert in the
area of neuroimaging of Parkinson's Disease. He is the Director the
Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre, which conducts the largest
peer-reviewed Parkinson's research program in Canada. Also, he is the
Canadian Research Chair for Parkinson's Disease, the Director of the
National Centre for Excellence for Parkinson's Disease, the Head of
Neurology at UBC, and has been awarded the Order of Canada for
his contribution.

entrance through double doors on your right (just past the elevators), and then will find yourself in the atrium area for the lecture theatre.
