Motor skills and senses are both integral parts of human life. While the two are independent, the way in which we move affects our senses. As such, researchers have been looking into how movement can shape our senses, and how Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disease affecting motor functions, affects both sensory and motor processes. A study recently published in Nature Communications by De La Torre-Martinez, et al., provides more insight into this area of research. The study was conducted by the researchers at Karolinska Institutet and involved an animal model of Parkinson’s disease. Through the study, they were able to discover that movement significantly reduced the responses to sensory inputs, and both sensory and motor processes were affected by the disease. To conduct the study, the researchers used an animal model of Parkinson’s disease. They exposed the animals to visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli and then measured the responses of the animals to the stimuli. They exposed the animals to the stimuli before and after they were given a drug designed to improve motor performance. The results of the study demonstrated that movement affected the sensory responses of the animals. The responses were reduced to the sensory inputs when the animals moved compared to when they were immobile. The degree of the reduction was greater when the animals were given the drug that improved their motor performance. The results showed that movement affects the sensory responses of the animals and can reduce the size of the responses to sensory inputs. The study also found that both sensory and motor processes were impacted by Parkinson’s disease. This is the first study that has looked at how Parkinson’s disease affects both sensory and motor processes. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance of keeping the body in motion, especially for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. Movement can help reduce the size of the response to sensory inputs as well as help manage the effects of the disease. The findings of this study can help inform treatment and management plans for those with Parkinson’s disease to ensure they are able to stay active and maintain their motor skills. The research conducted by De La Torre-Martinez, et al., provides valuable insight into the relationship between movement, sensory processes, and Parkinson’s disease. The study highlights the importance of movement in maintaining sensory responses and in managing the effects of the disease. By understanding this relationship, health care professionals will be better able to provide treatment and management plans that are tailored to each individual’s needs. In conclusion, the study conducted by De La Torre-Martinez, et al., provides a better understanding of how movement affects sensory processes, as well as how Parkinson’s disease alters both sensory and motor processes. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance of staying active in order to maintain sensory responses, and provide valuable insight into how Parkinson’s disease should be managed. The research conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet can aid in the development of new treatments and management plans for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease to help them stay physically and mentally active.
