done by the Duke University Medicine Center who had been conducting basic research on how individual brain cells communicate. While they were completing this research, they inadvertently discovered that some of the mice they were studying would groom their faces compulsively to the point where they would bleed.

It is present in mainly elderly patients (male and female) but there is an early onset in younger children if it is genetic. This disease occurs when nerve cells in the brain (substantia nigra) that produce dopamine are destroyed. It is unknown what causes these cells to die. Once the majority of nerve cells are lost, the brain cannot send the proper signals to the body to produce movements and motor control is affected. The symptoms then begin to appear which change a person’s life forever. The

undivided attention ... 1. Give your customers your full attention. Focus on what they are saying by clearing your mind and having an orderly desk and free hands. Remember, your brain can process information at 450 words per minute, while your customer only speaks 125 to 150 words per minute. Don't let yourself use your spare "brain time" to daydream. 2. Listen with an open mind. Be prepared to hear things you may not like or want to hear, but that could be valuable in helping you satisfy your customers
