In a nationwide cohort study of more than 184,000 hospitalized patients with Parkinson’s disease, researchers found that outcomes may depend not just on whether patients receive rehabilitation, but on how much rehabilitation they receive.

The study, which included researchers from the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases, found that higher rehabilitation intensity was associated with lower rates of hospital readmission, reduced mortality and lower healthcare costs. Researchers also identified disparities in rehabilitation intensity across regions, hospital characteristics and sociodemographic factors.

The findings suggest that rehabilitation intensity may be an important measure of quality in Parkinson’s disease care and could help inform future clinical practice and health policy.

A look back at DBS Think Tank XIV! 💙

From September 16–18, we welcomed colleagues and friends from across the field to Gainesville and online for three days of scientific discussion, collaboration and connection.

This year, we connected not only in the conference room, but also while exploring Gainesville together. From meaningful conversations to shared meals, it was a memorable few days with the DBS community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this year’s Think Tank so special!

The Fixel Institute is well represented at the 2026 International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders in Seoul, South Korea!

It was wonderful to bring together current Fixel members and alumni at this year’s Congress, connecting across borders and generations of movement disorders research and care.

From sharing new research to learning from colleagues around the world, the Congress is an opportunity to advance our collective understanding of Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, ataxia and other movement disorders.

We’re proud to see the Fixel community represented on the global stage and grateful for the connections that continue long after our time at Fixel.

Thanks to a new $2.32 million NIH R01 grant, UF researcher Abbas Babajani-Feremi, Ph.D., is working to make that possibility a reality.

By combining artificial intelligence and advanced brain mapping, his team aims to develop a virtual surgery tool that could help clinicians predict how different surgical approaches may affect language function in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

The goal? More personalized surgical planning, better-informed treatment decisions and improved quality of life for patients and families.
