    neurotransmitter dopamine, which in this case is generated from a part of the brain called the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra supplies neurotransmitter to the striatum, a region which receives input from the neocortex and contains the neurons, or nerve cells needed for movement (Trafton, 2013 MIT). In a typical neural motor pathway, an initial or pre-synaptic…

    Parkinson’s disease the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the substantia nigra die off. These nerve cells relay message that control body movements. The other parts of the brain that impact movement and become damaged in people with Parkinson’s include: the striatum, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. The striatum collects information, and along with the substantia nigra, which is located in the midbrain, is responsible for sending impulses from the spinal cord to the brain. The basal ganglia and…

    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. A “normal” cell signaling pathway has three major steps;…

    words the brain it can cause several side effects. This disease can cause shaking and difficulty with walking, any movement of the body, and even face expressions. Parkinson’s disease affects your whole body muscles because it damages your nerve cells in the brain which produce dopamine. The nervous system is the main source that helps you move and receives messages from your brain to make certain specific movement you desire. This disease can be treated and controlled, but there is no cure.…

    Parkinson’s disease (PD) is regarded as the second most common neurodegenerative disease and is a result of the loss of dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra (Robakis and Fahn, 2015). This deficiency of dopamine produces symptoms such as: tremors, rigidity and bradykinesia in affected patients (de Lau and Breteler, 2006). It is thought that the mitochondrial enzyme, monoamine oxidase (MAO), is involved in the neuropathology of PD. MAO is a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxidative…

    In our brains we have two major areas that are responsible for controlling our movements, these areas are the substantia nigra pars compacta and the basal ganglia. The substantia nigra pars compacta is responsible for producing dopamine, which controls the transmission of messages that initiate and control movement and balance. The basal ganglion is composed of numerous subcortical nuclei, which are crucial for controlling fine motor movements. Unfortunately, these areas of the brain are…

    symptoms are known to indicate the disease. We know what happens when PD invades the brain, but we don’t know why. PD is caused by decreased dopamine-producing cells and accumulated proteins in the brain, also known as lewy bodies. Dopamine is needed in the body for many functions, but its main function is paracrine signaling (cell to cell communication). The accumulation of…
