TITLE: A surprising brain discovery is forcing scientists to rethink movement disorders

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260623014004.htm

A surprising discovery is overturning a long-held assumption about how the brain’s movement center works. Researchers found that two key cerebellar cell types—thought to be tightly linked—often don’t behave in predictable ways, even though one directly influences the other. The finding suggests scientists may have been relying on the wrong signals when studying disorders such as dystonia, ataxia, and tremor.

Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
Precautionary principle - ban paraquat

"Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."

"Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."

'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'

"There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

Levodopa has a short plasma half-life, yet its long-duration response (LDR) can persist. In our study, LDR explained ~50% of the total levodopa effect, stayed stable for up to 10 years, was not linked to motor complications, and was associated with slower Parkinson’s disease progression.
