| | Parkinson's disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Reduction in dopamine along the non-striatal pathways is the likely explanation for much of the neuropsychiatric pathology associated with Parkinson's disease. | | | These pathways are associated with, respectively: volition and emotional responsiveness; desire, initiative, and reward; and sensory processes and maternal behavior. | | | There are four major dopamine pathways in the brain; the nigrostriatal pathway, referred to above, mediates movement and is the most conspicuously affected in early Parkinson's disease. |

| | The Facts about Parkinson’s Disease |
| | Treating Parkinson's disease with surgery was once a common practice, but after the discovery of levodopa, surgery was restricted to only a few cases. | | | One of the most demoralizing aspects of the disease is how completely the patient's world changes. | | | Some doctors prescribe physical therapy or muscle-strengthening exercises to tone muscles and to put underused and rigid muscles through a full range of motion. |

| | Parkinsons Disease |
| | Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common movement pathology, severely afflicting dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra (SN) along with non-dopaminergic, extra-nigral projection bundles that control circuits for sensory, associative, premotor, and motor pathways. | | | Nurses are responsible for planning patient medication schedules to maximize drug effectiveness. | | | Interventions are good only if the patient chooses to implement them; he is the head of the health team planning his care. |

| | The rigidity of Parkinson's produces a resistance to passive movement which is equal in all muscle groups and does not alter throughout the range of the passive movement. | | | It is vital that management is considered as part of a multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of nursing, occupational and physiotherapy, speech therapy, dieticians etc. Indeed, with recent advances in neurosurgery, on occasion, a number of surgical procedures need to be considered as one of the treatment options. | | | Recent advances in neuroimaging and stereotactic surgery have led to a renaissance in neurosurgery for Parkinson's disease. |

| | Such patients are aged 55 years or older; have a slowly progressive, asymmetric parkinsonism with resting tremor and bradykinesia or rigidity; and demonstrate a good response to dopamine replacement therapy. | | | Of 592 family members, 50 were affected by PD. These individuals were characterized by early age of disease onset (mean age 47.5 y), rapid progression (mean age at death 56.1 y), lack of tremor, and good response to levodopa therapy. | | | Lesion surgeries for PD have largely been replaced by deep brain stimulation (DBS) that does not involve a permanent lesion in the brain making the procedure reversible and the device can be adjusted to accommodate for disease progression and side effects. |
