A group I am in has just been exploring the Brain/Movement connection. In case you haven't seen it already, this video has a section on dance and Parkinson's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fRPR...

Johns Hopkins and Aspen Institute combined project
My husband also has essential tremor. Nice task!

Thanks. I do Zumba and love it. My husband, unfortunately, is in a wheelchair and can no longer walk.
My family, unfortunately, has quite a bit of experience with brain-related disorders. My husband suffers from Parkinson’s disease (PD) and I have essential tremor. I’ve done my share of research in this area since my husband was diagnosed 17 years ago, so let’s put some of the terminology I’ve encountered to use here.
This is a two-book task. Read a book from two of the below options Required: Specify the options you have selected in your post.
Option 1: Neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and serotonin, play a significant role in Parkinson’s disease.
Read a book with a word of 5 letters or more in the title that can be made from the letters in NEUROTRANSMITTERS. Letters may be used only as often as they appear and subtitles should be ignored.
Some examples: notes, treasure, mouse, train
Required: State the word.
Option 2: The part of the brain predominantly impacted in PD is the substantia nigra.
Read a book by a single author whose initials (all) are found in SUBSTANTIA NIGRA.
Option 3: PD is linked to pesticide exposure. My husband served in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange which was presumed to be the cause of his condition.
Read a book with one of these color words in the title or subtitle: red, blue, yellow, orange, green or violet . The word must match exactly, no variations.
Option 4: Why not learn more about the brain?
To do so, read a book from the first ten pages of the Brain shelf.
Required: Specify the page where your book is found when you post.
