Parkinson’s disease refers to a specific neurological condition caused by the progressive death and dysfunction of dopamine-making cells in the brain, leading to characteristic motor symptoms including tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia or slowed movements. There also are several forms of atypical and secondary parkinsonism, where other health problems result in Parkinson’s-like symptoms.
