===Parkinsonism=== A team of investigators led by neuroscientists at [[Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center]] has identified lesions in the claustrum as the likely origin of [[parkinsonism]] across different conditions. The team used a novel methodology called lesion network mapping to discover the origins of parkinsonism in 29 patients whose symptoms were not the result of Parkinson's disease but rather attributed to a brain lesion β an abnormality or injury to the brain visible on brain imaging. The mapping of the 29 lesions β which were located in different regions of the brain β revealed that connectivity to the claustrum was the single most sensitive and specific marker of lesion-induced parkinsonism.<ref name="Joutsa2018">{{cite journal | vauthors = Joutsa J, Horn A, Hsu J, Fox MD | title = Localizing parkinsonism based on focal brain lesions. | journal = Brain | volume = 141 | issue = 8 | pages = 2445β2456 | date = August 2018 | pmid = 29982424 | pmc = 6061866 | doi = 10.1093/brain/awy161 }}</ref>
