Please explain what happens when you have parkinson's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain pathology: Parkinson's disease affects predominantly neurotransmitters within the brain, especially declining Dopamine levels within the basal ganglia, but also within other pigmented nuclei, within the brainstem. This leads to problems, such as tremor, rigidity, gait imbalance, even cognitive changes.
