This part of the brain has many functions such as controlling voluntary movement. 
The Cerebral Cortex is also affected, which supports movement, thought, perception and memories. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anastasia_reeves129/4gjglnqz0t12/wish/243965688 Preventable or Treatable? anastasia_reeves129 https://padlet.com/anastasia_reeves129/4gjglnqz0t12/wish/243967351 There are treatments to help control the side effects, but as of right now there are no treatments for the disease itself. The disease is also not preventable. ]]> 2018-03-20 12:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anastasia_reeves129/4gjglnqz0t12/wish/243967351 What Causes It anastasia_reeves129 https://padlet.com/anastasia_reeves129/4gjglnqz0t12/wish/243968656 It is passed down through the parent as a mutated gene.
