An EU-funded project is getting close to building combined brain and neuromuscular computer models to predict the progression of Parkinson’s and ensure the prescription of the correct medication.
Understanding how Parkinson’s disease progresses is vital to predicting what treatment is needed, but so far tracking its course centres on models of the brain and neuromuscular systems as separate entities. One EU-funded project, NOTREMOR, is bringing these two research strands together by developing combined computational models of the brain and neuromuscular systems.
