Parkinson’s expert Prof John Stein, of Oxford University, said singing was known to help many patients. He added: “This is probably because their symptoms are due to uncontrolled oscillations in the networks of connected nerve cells in the brain that control movement. “Sometimes singing at the right tempo can lead the networks to oscillate at the song’s frequencies, cancelling out the ‘wrong’ oscillations that cause the symptoms.”
