Dopamine improves defective cortical and muscular connectivity during bilateral control of gait in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Parkinson’s Disease (PD)-typical declines in gait coordination are possibly explained by weakness in bilateral cortical and muscular connectivity. Here, we seek to determine whether this weakness and consequent decline in gait coordination is affected by dopamine levels. To this end, we com...
