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.

In Parkinson's disease, neurons of the substantia nigra progressively degenerate 4 ; as a result, the amount of DA available for neurotransmission in the corpus striatum is lowered. 5 The biochemical imbalance manifests with typical clinical symptoms that include resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, i.e., a gradual slowness of spontaneous ...
The substantia nigra was discovered in 1786 by Félix Vicq d'Azyr, but it took more than a century before Paul Blocq and Georges Marinesco alluded to a possible link between this structure and Parkinson's disease.
Aug 21, 2020 · The main hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most common progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder, is the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons (DaNs) in the substantia...
