“Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement,” Mayo Clinic states. The most common or distinguished sign of the disorder is a tremor. The tremor usually begins in one of the limbs, most often the hand (Mayo Clinic). Another sign of Parkinson’s disease is a change in one’s speech. Someone with Parkinson’s might talk fast, quiet, with a slur, or there might be a slight delay before they begin to speak. Also, having stiff muscles is another sign of the…

It is a basal ganglion in the central hemisphere that helps to control movement of the body. The putamen is located next to the globus pallidus and the caudate. When combined with the globus pallidus you have the lenticular nucleus, which is part of the Motor Loop. The Motor Loop basal ganglion regulates muscle contraction, muscle force, multi-joint movements, and movement selection and action.…

what cause memory loss. People who suffer from this condition often are bad at decision making, planning, and organizing things in their lives (“Types of Dementia”). Compared to a person with Alzheimer’s, one with Vascular dementia have a more rapid rate of memory loss, meaning they have more of a sudden memory loss (“About Dementia”). A patient with Vascular dementia would also have the emotion of not caring, also called being nonchalant. It’s not something the person can fix, and therefore…

All my life, I’ve always wondered, why? Why do I stammer? Is it something wrong with me? I know that I was born that way because unlike many people, stammering didn’t only occur when I was stressed or in an unconformable situation. I stuttered every time I tried to speak. No matter how hard I tried to control my speech flow, I couldn’t help it. It was natural. My relatives tried to help me, to cure me fof my speech disorder but they failed. They didn’t have patience with me. They believed that…

Parkinson’s disease is a slowly developing neurological disorder in which cells are lost in the brain. The fact that cells are lost makes it a progressive disorder of the nervous system. The National Parkinson Foundation states on their website that the most substantial area of degeneration is the Substantia Nigra in the brain which produces dopamine. Before symptoms occur, roughly 60%-80% of the neurons in the Substantia Nigra have diminished. Dopamine allows for communication between neurons…

send and receive impulses, with the help of dopamine, a compound present in the body as a neurotransmitter. When dealing with parkinson's disease, dopamine producing nerve cells begin to die off. Basal ganglia is responsible for ensuring smooth movement, but when dopamine is not stimulated adequately, basal ganglia are affected, which causes imbalances, slowness and stiffness. Overall, this shuts down motion and rigidity, or tremor of the body, similar to patients in Awakenings such as Leonard,…

mutations that take place in the nerve cells that are known as neurons in the brain (Huntington 's Disease: Hope Through Research). The mutation of the nerve cells causes them to degenerate. In the brain, the most affected cells are those of the basal ganglia and the part of the brain that are responsible for movements…

The Parkinson is a disease that make Causes damage to the brain For lack of a neurotransmitter that is called dopamine and they are asked to be dopamine, dopamine is a neurotransmitter for the brain to send impulses to the motor nerves of the human body so that the body's bodies can work better and is important in all nerve responses that are related to the expression of emotions; Can be administered dopamine in the treatment of various types of shock like the Such as Parkinson's tremor Which…

There are many people who suffer from nervous system disorders. One famous person who suffered from a nervous system disorder is Bob Hoskins. He was a famous actor, who has stared in over 100 films during his acting career. He is most famous for his roles in Hook and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. On 28 October 2011, Hoskins was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a nervous system disorder that affects movement. Parkinson's disease symptoms change as the…

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) defines spasmodic dysphonia as an organic, chronic voice disorder that is characterized by forced and strained movement of one or more of the muscles in the larynx, causing an individual’s voice to sound erratic, hoarse, or constricted. There are two primary types of spasmodic dysphonia: adductor spasmodic dysphonia and abductor spasmodic dysphonia. Those who have the adductor type will experience unexpected, involuntary muscle spasms that…
