Rhythm Production and Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation in Healthy and Parkinsonian Basal Ganglia

Explore how rhythm production and rhythmic auditory stimulation function in both healthy and Parkinsonian basal ganglia through this 16-minute conference talk by Jacob Duda from McMaster University. Examine the neurological mechanisms underlying rhythm processing in the brain's basal ganglia region, comparing normal functioning with the altered patterns observed in Parkinson's disease. Discover how rhythmic auditory stimulation may serve as a therapeutic intervention for movement disorders, and gain insights into the complex relationship between auditory processing, motor control, and neurological conditions affecting the basal ganglia circuitry.
