A New Electrical Signature of Parkinson’s Disease
Scientists have discovered a new electrical signature of Parkinson’s Disease, previously overlooked, which reflects the disease's symptoms.
When a person experiences the characteristic movement symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, researchers are seeking answers through various approaches, including deep brain stimulation.
This therapy involves implanting stimulating electrodes in patients' brains to alleviate symptoms using electrical impulses, also enabling unique electrical measurements from areas otherwise inaccessible in humans.
These data can help uncover the neural mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease and inspire new therapeutic strategies.
“noise” represents a previously overlooked signature that reflects Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
