Brain zaps show promise for Parkinson's walking and thinking problems

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help people with Parkinson's disease who struggle with doing two things at once, like walking while talking. Forty-one participants received either real or fake magnetic stimulation to a specific brain area over two weeks. The results showed the real stimulation improved both thinking skills and the ability to manage walking and thinking tasks together, and it was well-tolerated.
