  1. Sep 18, 2020 · Most neuroscientists and neurologists will attest to the fact that the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease begin once a patient has lost a moderate number of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra. Estimates place this figure at ∼30–50%.

  8. Atypical parkinsonism refers to a group of neurodegenerative disorders that have some features similar to those of Parkinson disease but have some different clinical features, a worse prognosis, a modest or no response to levodopa, and a different pathology (eg, neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclea...
