"Uncovering Brain Circuitry for Left and Right Turns: Implications for Parkinson's Disease"

Researchers have identified a new group of neurons in the brainstem that receives signals from the basal ganglia to control left-right movements, shedding light on the brain's complex navigation system and potentially offering therapeutic strategies for movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. By studying mice, the team anticipates similar mechanisms in humans, potentially revolutionizing treatments for movement disorders.
