The slowness of Parkinson's disease may be a failure of motivation to act rather than of motor control, which is why a patient can still run from a burning house.

Drawn from what Masud Husain said

What these subjects mean

motivation What makes effort feel worth it: the neuroscience of wanting to act, apathy, dopamine, and habit.

dementia Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and cognitive decline: what raises the risk, what is preventable, and what ageing well protects.

What Masud Husain actually said

  1. Masud Husain Professor of Neurology at the University of Oxford
    So it's a different way of framing why is there a reduction of action? Why is there bradicynesia, a slowing of movement in people with Parkinson's disease? That's really interesting. It doesn't just have to be about motor control. It could be the motivation to act just as we said with David, right?
