Haven't posted in a while, sorry about that...
But I'm here with some good news. You may well know someone suffering from Parkinson's disease. Drugs trials have revealed that symptoms can be reduced through the use of a drug called rivastigmine which prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter substance that helps us to concentrate. As you've probably figured out higher levels of this in the CNS (Central Nervous System) will help with movement. Hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the number of people with Parkinson's injuring themselves due to falling over and things like that. This advancement could greatly relieve the pressures on health systems. Not bad eh...
