Default finding that contradicts current theories behind Parkinson's disease
http://www.eurekalert.org/bysubject/index.php?kw=150

Public Release: 18-Oct-2006
Neuron
Synchronous neuronal firing may underlie Parkinson's disease
In a finding that contradicts current theories behind Parkinson's disease, neuroscientists at Duke University Medical Center have discovered in mice that critical nerve cells fire all at the same time and thus overwhelm the brain's ability to control the body's movements.
