What is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson’s is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that primarily affects the substantia nigra, a brain region responsible for producing dopamine, which is vital for movement and coordination. As brain cells die, dopamine production drops, causing motor and non-motor symptoms. Key Points: - Dopamine’s Role: Dopamine is essential for smooth movement, and its deficiency leads to typical Parkinson’s symptoms. - Substantia Nigra: The brain region most impacted by Parkinson's, responsible for dopamine production. Early Intervention By the time symptoms appear, significant damage to the substant
