For years I thought, yeah, there is a gut brain hypothesis here for Parkinson's. But then when I started to really push through my PhD, I was looking at genetic aberrations in genes that were involved in the mitochondria. So it could be many roads lead to Rome. There are multiple things causing Parkinson's disease and they all tend to just coalesce at the basal nuclei or dopaminergic neurons associated with it. One of which may be a gut-based cause. Others may be genetic aberrades in mitochondrial genes and others might be genetic abergations in neuronal synapseing genes. It can be multiple causes for neurons dying. That's what you see.
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike delve into the intriguing world of neuroscience as a new paper emerges, presenting significant findings that challenge long-held beliefs about the motor cortex. Join us as we carefully examine the intricate details of this study and discuss its implications for our understanding of movement, motor control, and brain plasticity. Together, we navigate the evolving landscape of the motor cortex and explore how these fresh insights may shape the future of neuroscience. Get ready to gain new perspectives and explore the fascinating developments unfolding in our understanding of the motor cortex.
