To combat smoking among youth, public health groups have called for restricted ratings for movies that depict smoking. A new study from New Zealand, however, calls that strategy into question, noting that the R rating may not have the intended effect of putting such movies 'out of reach' of children.

Gloria E. Meredith, Ph.D., collaborated with D. James Surmeier, Ph.D. and others at Northwestern University to study the drug, Isradipine, and its effects on Parkinson's disease. Dr. Meredith studies a chronic mouse model that mimics the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The scientists joined together to see if the drug could stop cells from dying in the mouse model. Findings indicated that isradipine slowed the disease process and destruction of the dopamine-producing neurons.
