Researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark studied the enzyme L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) in animal models with spinal cord injury and Parkinson\u2019s disease. The enzyme, the researchers believe, contribute to the manufacture of serotonin. The serotonin activates muscle control, and when there is too much serotonin pumped into the system, the motor controls are sent scrambling.<\/p>\n
