    Couple of questions:
    1) Was this a Phase I or Phase II study?  Who funded it and why?

    2) Can you help us understand the significance of the results  "improvements of 4-9 percent in dopamine transporter binding" and "improvements in their UPDRS score of about 13 percent."  What does this mean?  Where there some improvements that were specifically noteworthy, i.e., tremor?

    3) Why isn't this study getting more attention?  If it can enable dopamine neurons to recover some function would that not be amazing?
