A cure for RwPs (Rats with Parkinson's)

Worth the read though...

Extract :

Through cell-to-cell interaction, stimulating the rats’ cholinergic neurons also stimulated their dopaminergic neurons. This seemed to restore the dopamine-producing function in the dopaminergic neurons.

As a result of this, the rats made a complete recovery, including movement restoration and a reversal of postural impairment.

(They did not play the piano, but that was close)

Think this is the Ray of Hope for Parkinson in this thread

I find this incredibly interesting, thanks for posting again. I need to get some kind of electronic filing system going here as I remember this post but don't think I could have found it again as quickly as you did! 😊

But, can you imagine how it feels to be a rat who would not otherwise get Parkinson's?

I wonder what they're saying to each other.

"Where's Herbie?" "They took him away to give him Parkinson's -- to show they can't cure it. Poor guy." "Yeah, that's a bad break. When they took me away, they gave me the flu."

Those lucky rats!

They claim dopaminergic neuros die, yet through cell to cell interaction, they are restored back to life???

I take this to mean restored from living but nonfunctional to functional status.

Living but not functional means "dead" to me, Park_Bear.
