The University of Michigan project investigates cholinergic mechanisms underlying gait and cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson disease. It uses patient cohorts and animal models to study attentional-motor integration, gait and balance abnormalities, fall propensity, and cognitive decline.
Description
Research project examining how cholinergic system degeneration relates to gait, balance, falls, and cognitive impairments in Parkinson disease, using neuroimaging, behavioral and physiological studies in patients and animal models.
