This is so important and yet so little time is given to its study by contemporary Parkinson disease researchers. It challenges the notion of irreversible degenerative deterioration.

It's about rewiring the brain through repetition. Automatic to manual. I believe in what Gavin is doing but it is not in the medical manual so it is dismissed as being kooky.

I have started to play walking football for PwP. A staggering thing happens when I play. My Parkinson’s disappears. Completely.

My desrest Dr. Lees! Motor learning influences specific mechanisms related to its storage, the so-called associative memory, which comprises the acquisition and development of motor skills through the repetition of gestures providing the mechanization of movement.

Its organization is possibly due to plasticity in the cerebellar nucleus. With the extinction of its practice, when reacquiring it, its process occurs more quickly than the original acquisition.

Thus, motor memory is important, not only to later perform the same activity with greater ease; as well as learning new gestures that have similar movements.
