I realize this is just the preliminary report, but if you actually read the Phase I study of this - it has the ability to normalize malfunctioning brain circuits. IOW, it's not just observed motor improvement - this actually has the potential to reset some of the damage caused by PD.
I'm trying not to be overly excited, but I think this deserves a HELL YEAH and some congenial group hugs, while we await further info.

Since i have begun researching the neurotransmitters, i realize how important this could be. GABA defiency could be behind many of our non-motor symptoms and we KNOW it's not just dopamine. I was "thinking " how good this announcement is - but i post all the time.
