New preprint out! 🧠
Parkinson’s disease is all about basal ganglia, right?

Using MEG in a timing paradigm, we find altered PD-activity in the cerebellum as well. This is important for understanding timing and action networks in the brain and sheds light on PD. @pandonaude.bsky.social 🧠📈

Preprint: bit.ly/431EEcv
Somatosensory timing and cerebellar-basal ganglia beta-band interactions in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease has traditionally been viewed through the lens of basal ganglia dysfunction, yet emerging research also implicates the cerebellum and its connections to the basal ganglia. To prob...

1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
