Pathogenesis of Parkinson?s Disease
Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease is the process by which the disease develops and progresses. The primary cause of Parkinson’s disease is the death of cells in the substantia nigra, part of the mid-brain that is responsible for the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine. As dopamine levels decrease, symptoms such as tremor, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and gait and balance problems arise. Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease is a complex process, involving genetic and environmental factors to which the disease is susceptible. Understanding the underlying causes of the disease can help inform diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
