摘要
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder mainly caused by degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigral pars compacta (SNpc). The typical motor symptoms of this disease are tremor, akinesia, and rigidity, which are mostly caused by dysfunction of the nigro-striatal pathway. Dopaminergic neurons in the SNpc project long axons to caudate nucleus and the putamen, and secrete dopamine.
