Neurobiology of the Placebo Effect in Parkinson's Disease"! 🧠✨

Key Takeaways:
The placebo effect in PD is a real neurobiological phenomenon, significantly impacting motor symptoms. (It’s not just “in your head”)

It's deeply connected to our brain's dopamine system, particularly the reward (ventral striatum) and motor control (dorsal striatum) pathways.

Our expectations and prior experiences can powerfully modulate how our brain responds!
