Scientists may have found the brain network behind Parkinson’s


A new international study points to a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinson’s disease.

When researchers targeted it with non-invasive brain stimulation, patients showed much stronger symptom improvement than with conventional stimulation. The discovery could reshape how Parkinson’s is diagnosed and treated.
