What is Parkinson's Disease?

 

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological disorder which results from the loss of nerve cells in a specific region of the brain. The consequence of the loss of these cells is the reduction in an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine deficiency leads to one or more problems with movement.
