I have never heard of that happening and from my understanding of Parkinson’s disease it is that there is no or very little dopamine in the brain. Of what I understand having a brain injury could not cause this to disappear but weather it causes a problem that then slowly over time causes the dopamine levels to decrease is another subject.
