FSU researcher Caterina Gratton is working to identify how specific differences in brain networks affect the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, Gratton and her research team are looking at the impact of Parkinson’s on the system of communication between brain regions.

“Impairment in an individual’s cognition and behavior stems, at least partly, from impairments in the ability of brain regions to communicate with each other effectively. Since networks vary across people, it’s important to look at how Parkinson’s affects brain networks in individual people,” said Gratton.
