A recent discovery by British scientists is opening a great opportunity for treating Parkinson's disease. According to the scientists, the cause of this disease is the rise of a special wave in the brain and, if controlled, will be the key to treating Parkinson's.

People move naturally through a complex system through the transmission of signals from the brain to different muscles in the body. Thereby, we can stand or hold.

However, problems occur when brain cells no longer control muscle movement. At that time, people will walk hard, move slowly, and their hands and feet are shaking hard. And that disease is called Parkinson.

Until now, the origin of Parkinson's remains unknown. Therefore, a recent study by British scientists has been paying special attention. They argue that the rise of a particular type of wave in the brain causes the disease .

Professor Peter Brown - Department of Neurology, University of London said: " Our experiment is for a person to control a small point according to certain goals on the computer. First of all, they will keep that small point. In a fixed position, then when the target moves, they will have to control the small point to move to hit the target, they will have to do it with the fastest possible speed and what we find out. When we stimulate a wave in the brain, the movements of the muscles will move especially slowly . "

That wave of scientific circles is called Beta waves, scientists believe that the greater the variation of the beta wave, the slower the ability of the muscles to move. To a certain extent, it even causes loss of control of the muscles.
