Neuroplasticity in Parkinson's Disease Study
This study aims to understand how changes in the brain, called neuroplasticity, affect people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt. Researchers will use a special type of imaging called 7T MRI to take pictures of the brain. They will also use a technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to gently stimulate the brain. This could help find new ways to detect PD early and see if new treatments are working.

- Study Length: Participants will be assessed at the start and then again after 30-36 months.
- Visits: Participants will need to visit the research center for brain imaging and TMS sessions.
- Eligibility: Must have PD and be able to walk 50 meters without help; cannot have certain medical conditions or devices like pacemakers.
