Definition
- a loss of motor function
- degeneration of basal ganglia and dopamine-releasing neurons
- dopamine is an inhibitor that prevents excessive activity in the basal ganglia, inhibits movement
- insufficient dopamine --> tremors, uncontrolled movements
- use LDopa to treat, but only lasts so long
