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.
