WOW isn't that guy amazing and the people who have the guts to give it a go.
He seems to have found a way to help not only the physical but also the mental wellbeing of his pupils. Maybe he is rewiring the movements to different neurons? Sometimes I wonder myself if it is possible to continualy relearn things when the ability seems to drift away. What I mean is if I put a new program onto my computer and it gets a bit corrupted I can just reintroduce the same program and use it until it gets corrupted and so on. Eventually though like the brain the hard drive would have no good space left to save the program to. Make sense or am I loosing it again LOL My attitude is that just because for a time I can't do something won't stop me attempting it at a later date even if I have to get help to retrain what brain cells I have left. |

I am wondering if exercise, which is beneficial for neurotransmitter homeostasis and/or generation, works with our compensatory system somehow. I still find it amazing that our brain compensates long as it does in the first place. Maybe exercise allows us to tap back into that somehow? I also think that what he said about making opposite movements of PD (BIG training) can help us re-circuit our faulty wiring? Perhaps, most amazing at all is how long has it been the norm that stroke victims can regain movement or function and we are now just "discovering" this on a clinical level with PD? |

i agree, it is perplexing. maybe jay robert's current clinical trial will shed more light on the matter.
i'm making the assumption that he is doing a 2nd trial based on stuff i read months ago, not sure of current status. if exercise makes you "normal", why do we ever get pd is the obvious question and i'm sure not going to dive into that. i'd guess i'd like to know how long lasting the affect is in these studies, weeks, months? are some brain cells temporarily stimulated? does some metabolite from muscle cells get into the brain and stimulate neurons? regardless, i'm still pumping away on my recumbent bike, no permanent affect but i do feel better for at least an hour afterwards. |

Arsippi, good for u. There must be something in it, maybe the exercise stimulates the production of the chemicals that create dopamine or possibly the uptake is improved.
At the end of the day if it works for u keep at it. |
