Article on altered corticospinal dynamics during movement preparation in Parkinson’s disease received enthusiastically by the Belgian press

Our recent paper on altered corticospinal suppression during movement preparation in Parkinson’s disease, published in Movement Disorders (online, September 2022), has been featured in this nice science vulgarisation article published by UCLouvain (FR): https://uclouvain.be/fr/chercher/actualites/parkinson-et-mouvements-lents-une-explication.html

Following this publication by our university, we had the opportunity to discuss our findings on Belgian national TV and radio, together with one of our patient participants. He took this opportunity to courageously share his story of Young Onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD), the importance of sport & mental strength and of participating in research; the feedback has been tremendously positive.
