    progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement control due to dopamine loss

    Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement control. It is characterized by symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems, resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra.
