Parkinson’s disease is a medical condition in which movement of the body is affected by an irregularity of the nervous system. The most common symptom that emerges for victims of this disease is tremors as well as stiffness or slowing of movement. Environmental triggers (such as exposure to toxins), genetic mutations, and the increase of age are all factors that contribute to the development of the disease. Although Parkinson’s disease is incurable, treatment can ease the symptoms. Treatments that block calcium channels may moderate the progression of the disease, because a large amount of calcium can kill dopamine neurons and inhibit the normal function of the cell signaling pathway.
