Its a disorder of the nervous system.
Not enough dopamine I think…..but I really dont remember
that a part of the brain is affected with the disease and it will change the person.
That there is a mental problem with the patient..
I don’t understand what you are asking.
Please restate the question! =O
parkinson’s disease is when the brain neurons die.
The cells in the brain can’t make the neurotransmitter, dopamine.
And dopamine is required for nerve signals and movement.
IN order to fully understand this question you must first understand the disease. Therefore I have given you a link that will better help you understand the disease. Best Wishes.
Neurologically its a disease that affects the central nervous system, a rehabilitating disease that affects motor skills. Its cause by the bodies lack to create sufficient amounts of dopamine. The neuro- transmitter is not released in the amount the body needs which will often result in the patient/client acquiring a tremor or constant shaking or twitching, slow body movements, loss of motor skills and in extreme cases lack of movement entirely. Other symptoms that may occur are hallucination’s, the inability to evaluate depth perception and spatial relationships between objects, sleep abnormalities and in some cases dementia will follow.
There are several different types of Parkinson’s that I would encourage you to look up.
