Recent studies have shown that different cells in the brain function more independently than previously thought. Studies of two kinds of brain cells support this theory. The two types of cells in the study are matrix cells and patch cells.  The neostraitum is where these cells can be found. The neostraitum is the part of the brain in charge of the movement. The disease Parkinson’s attacks this part of the brain making motor function difficult. In studies done with mice given the parkinson’s virus they used stimulated matrix cells, which are stimulated by light,  and the mouse had trouble with motor function, such as grabbing food pellets with its front paws. Scientists conclude that the matrix cell are for motor skills and patch cells judge by previous experience and the work completely independent of each other.  One interesting fact about Parkinson’s is that people that are immobilized by the disease have been known to regain the ability to use their motor functions when the absolutely have to, for example life or death situations.
