          About a decade ago, Tatiana Bremova-Ertl’s graduate adviser was studying an obscure, 1950s-era French vertigo drug, probing its effects on people with balance disorders, when she thought of another, very sick group of patients. 
          A graduate student and medical resident at the German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders, in Munich, Bremova-Ertl often saw patients with Niemann-Pick Type C, a rare, genetic disease that slowly kills neurons.
