A CBU paper was the basis for an article by University of Sheffield student Elizabeth Kirkham which was the recent winning entry in the Access to Understanding science-writing competition for PhD students and early career post-doctoral researchers organized by Europe PubMed Central in partnership with The British Library. Entrants were asked to explain to a non-scientific audience, in less than 800 words, the research reported in a scientific article and why it mattered. The 2013 paper Elizabeth chose, by the CBU’s James Rowe and ex-CBU-er Jessica Grahn documents the discovery that damage to the putamen, with its’ new-found role in role in beat processing, highlights the need to consider this part of the brain as a target for future treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a finding with significant clinical implications.
