Hidden brain rhythm discovered that could improve Parkinson's treatment

Scientists have identified a brain network and its distinctive electrical rhythm that appear to drive the benefits of deep brain stimulation in treating Parkinson's disease. The discovery could enable more precise, personalised stimulation settings and lead to significantly better outcomes for patients. The finding opens new avenues in the treatment of one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases.
