New international findings identify a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinson’s disease. Hyperconnectivity within this network disrupts movement and thinking, affecting broader functioning. Targeted non-invasive brain stimulation yielded stronger symptom improvements than standard stimulation, with implications for diagnosis and treatment. This information holds relevance for psychotherapists, clinical social workers, and other mental health professionals.

Scientists have identified the brain regions responsible for wakefulness, a key component of consciousness. The regions are clusters of nerve cells in the brainstem, thalamus, and hypothalamus, which form a network called the ascending arousal system. The network could be a target for new treatments for coma patients who may have impaired wakefulness due to brain damage or disease.
