Detailed explanation-1: -Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that is caused by degeneration of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which controls movement. These nerve cells die or become impaired, losing the ability to produce an important chemical called dopamine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neurodegenerative Diseases: ↑ Brain illness that causes neurons to die and the brain to shrink. Parkinson’s Disease: ↑ A neurodegenerative disease whose main symptoms are related to problems with movement, due to neuron death in the substantia nigra.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parkinson’s disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra. Nerve cells in this part of the brain are responsible for producing a chemical called dopamine.
