EAN 2026 | Auditory cueing modulates motor performance and brain activity in Parkinson’s disease

Andrea Gardoni, PhD(c), Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy, discusses a study using simultaneous kinematic measurements and fMRI during a finger-tapping task to investigate how auditory cues affect motor performance and brain activity in Parkinson’s disease. Auditory cues improved movement amplitude and its maintenance over time, while increasing pallidal activity and reducing supplementary motor area activity. This interview took place at the 12th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
