Parkinson disease is a disease of the nervous system that affects movement. The disease is characterized by progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic cells due to a dopamine deficiency. Brain cell connections degenerate and die causing memory loss and destroying other important mental functions. Researchers are still unsure as to why the disease develops. A combination of genetic and environmental factors are thought to contribute to the risk of getting Parkinson’s‚ says Catherine Kopil‚ PhD

As mentioned earlier‚ R.K was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease in nineteen eighty-one at age forty. It was just prior to his diagnosis that R.K’s family was travelling to Edmonton‚ AB for a wedding.

The most common type of parkinsonism is idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD)‚ first described in an essay by James Parkinson‚ an English physician‚ in 1817 as paralysis agitans (the shaking palsy). In the early 1960s‚ researchers identified a fundamental defect that is a hallmark of the disease: the loss of brain cells that produce an important chemical‚ dopamine‚ which helps direct muscle activity. Progressive loss of dopamine-containing
