Good news for people (rather than mice) with PD.

PD patients showed instable gait with insufficient range of motion during usual walking. Active taVNS (vagal nerve stimulation at the ear)improved gait characteristics including step length, stride velocity, stride length, and step length variability compared with sham taVNS after completion of the 7-day therapy.
