Nerve signals in the brains of those affected by Parkinsons are transmitted more quickly than those in health brains. This finding, surprising because the disease leads to the slowing of motor skills, was the result of testing done on animals by the Laboratoire mouvement adaptation cognition (CNRS/ Universités Bordeaux 1 and 2) Now, new therapeutic strategies will aim at slowing the transmission of nerve signals. This work was published July 10 in the Journal of Neurophysiology.
