Sural Nerve Graft to the Substantia Nigra
Participants assigned to this arm will have the sural nerve biopsied from one of their ankles. This cellular tissue will be deposited bilaterally into the substantia nigra area of their brain by a specialized cannula via bilateral scalp incisions and skull burr holes.
Sham surgery
Participants assigned to this arm will have the sural nerve from one of their ankles biopsied in the same fashion as the experimental arm. Bilateral incisions will be made on the participants scalp but no burr holes into the skull and no cannula passes into the brain will occur.
