Modulatory role of acetylcholine in the rat pineal gland.

abstract：:One of the clinical characteristics of psychogenic tremors (PT) is the disruption or transient cessation of tremor with distractive manoeuvres, including those involving the performance of voluntary movements with the contralateral hand. Seven patients with PT, 11 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), 10 patients wi...
