DBS is not a cure for movement disorders, but it can successfully treat symptoms by disrupting the abnormal patterns of brain activity that become prominent in these diseases. DBS is often described as a brain âpacemakerâ because constant pulses of electrical charge are delivered at settings that are thought to restore normal brain rhythms, allowing the restoration of more normal movements.
Harriman Reservoir, also known as Lake Whitingham, is the largest body of water located entirely within the state of Vermont. Enjoyed by boaters, swimmers, paddlers, and fishermen, the reservoir extends about 10 miles from Wilmington to Whitingham in southern Vermont.
Since its completion, Twitchell Reservoir has been trapping sediments from the 1,140 square mile Cuyama River watershed. Original studies estimated that 40,000 AF of sediment would accumulate in the reservoir during the first one hundred years of operation.he project was completed in 1959 at a cost of approximately $11 million dollars, which was 30% less than the original estimate. The name was eventually changed to Twitchell Dam and Reservoir to honor Mr. T.A. Twitchell of Santa Maria, who was instrumental in bringing about the project.
