"Landmark Study Reveals Sources of Parkinson's, Tourette's, and OCD"

Scientists have used Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to identify dysfunctional brain circuits responsible for Parkinson's, Tourette's syndrome, OCD, and dystonia, offering a potential path to target the sources of these common brain disorders. This breakthrough could lead to the development of cures or better medications to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, a new gene change in a microprotein called SHLP2 has been discovered, which protects against Parkinson's and could lead to new treatments, offering hope for precision medicine-based therapies for these devastating diseases.

"Breakthrough Study Reveals Origins of Parkinson's, Tourette's, and OCD"

Scientists at Mass General Brigham have identified the sources of Parkinson’s, Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, and dystonia in a groundbreaking study using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to pinpoint dysfunctions in the brain responsible for these disorders. By lighting up parts of the brain and using electrodes, they were able to identify malfunctioning networks and understand why DBS has been helping patients. This breakthrough could lead to the development of better remedies and medications for these common brain disorders, offering hope for potential cures in the future. Additionally, a previously unknown genetic mutation that provides significant protection against Parkinson's has been identified, potentially leading to new medical treatments for the condition.

"Breakthrough Study Identifies Sources of Parkinson's, Tourette's, OCD, and More for Potential New Treatments"

Scientists at Mass General Brigham have used deep brain stimulation (DBS) to identify dysfunctional brain circuits responsible for Parkinson's disease, dystonia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and Tourette's syndrome. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, included 261 patients and found preliminary improved results in three cases. The findings could lead to new treatments for these disorders, but further research and clinical trials are needed to validate the results and understand the long-term effects of DBS.
