Browsing: Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement, caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra. Common symptoms include tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and balance difficulties, though it can also lead to cognitive and mood changes over time. While the exact cause remains unclear, research points to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Ongoing studies are focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind the disease, developing better treatments, and exploring potential avenues for neuroprotection and regeneration.
