(based on the dopamine hypothesis of schitzoprenia)
andyfnp – the D2 receptors in the mesolimbic, nigrostrial, mesocortical and tubero?something all use the same dopamine, so you cant get a specific decrease to one area alone, albeit parkinsons affects the nigra area more, a decrease (or increase) is exactly that, thats why side effects of antipsychotics happen…
My point is that if there is a decrease in dopamine, then it should effect the mesolimbic area too, decreasing dopamine, decreasing the effects…
Point taken re: hypersensitivity, but given that still, do you still think it is valid?

ASL Mid-term Video on Parkinson’s Disease. We are supposed to watch a video and copy what is said. We were required to have 5 minutes of the story so that is why the abrupt stop takes place.

Movement Strategies for Parkinsons Disease Part 1 We intend that this DVD be used as a starting point for patients and therapists to build upon. Movement Strategies for Parkinsons Disease Part 1 It is important to emphasise that PD is a complex disease that has far reaching effects on a person. PD not only affects movement, but also thought processes, memory, energy levels, motivation, and more. Therefore, it would be unfair and irresponsible to imply that the movement strategies shown on this DVD will suit everyone, and lead to uniform improvements in all areas. Both therapists and people with Parkinsons who are watching this DVD must therefore recognise that to achieve the most effective solutions, these strategies should be personalised to each individual person and be a part of a broader plan encompassing a thorough assessment and treatment by a highly qualified and experienced physiotherapist. www.westymedia.com David Westbrook
