Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that impairs motor control. Its pathophysiology is mainly associated with:
The destruction of neurons in the cerebral cortex responsible for short-term memory.
The degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain, resulting in reduced dopamine, a neurotransmitter essential for movement control.
The accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, responsible for motor and behavioral changes.
The overproduction of dopamine in the central nervous system, leading to hyperactivity.
