New parkinson therapies 2022 thesocialmedwork

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disease of the brain that causes tremors and muscle stiffness and slows movements. It develops when neurons (brain cells) in a specific part of the brain stop working properly and are lost over time. These neurons produce an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is used by the brain to send messages between brain areas to control movement. At some point, the brain can no longer produce enough dopamine to properly control movement. 1, 2
