Parkinson's disease. Artwork representing Parkinson's disease showing an elderly man standing in a characteristic hunched position. At left are assorted connected nerve cells. Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the nerve cells in the brain,which causes degeneration of dopamine producing nerve cells. This leads to muscle tremors,a staring expression and the rigid,stooped posture seen here. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease,although some drugs (such as levodopa) appear to help the symptoms for a short time. As the disease progresses,severe incapacitation develops,which may be followed by dementia | |
