in the substantia nigra / red nucleus when holding hands with their partners relative to when alone, independent of EFT, F (1, 49.5) = 6.6, p =.01.
Interactions between handholding and DAS were detected
in the substantia nigra / red nucleus, F (1, 50.0) = 4.0, p =.05, and hypothalamus, F (1, 42.6) = 6.1, p =.02, both due to small positive DAS / activation correlations during the alone condition and small negative DAS / activation correlations during the stranger condition, although none of these correlations was significant.
In the substantia nigra / red nucleus, threat - related activity was generally greater during stranger than partner handholding, F (1, 47.4) = 6.5, p =.01.

The symptoms of Parkinson's — which is characterized by stiffness and can lead to a loss of motor and speech function — are triggered by the progressive death of neurons
in a midbrain region called the
substantia nigra that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine (implicated
in the pleasure and reward systems as well as
in the maintenance of proper movement control).

Glutamate indirectly activates the
substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area, which contain cells whose axons release dopamine

It is important to understand that people with PD first start experiencing symptoms later
