Okazaki, Japan – Parkinson’s disease is characterized by motor symptoms, such as trembling hands, muscle stiffness, and difficulty in initiation of movements, and it affects around 1% of people over ...

Thousands of our daily activities, from making coffee to taking a walk to saying hello to a neighbor, are made possible through an ancient collection of brain structures tucked away near the center of ...
