Neuroscientists have documented a link between spatial and verbal reasoning by scanning students' brains while taking a course that emphasized spatial learning.
A specific Parkinson's related gene could be a driver behind vocal production problems associated with the disease. The findings could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.
