Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonian Syndrome
Parkinson's disease occurs when nerve cells in the brain that produce the chemical dopamine become damaged or die. Dopamine is crucial for coordinated muscle and movement control. Patients begin to experience difficulties with movement, including tremor, slowness of movement, stiffness, and loss of balance.
