Abstract
Description
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder
characterized by a profound and selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons.
Clinical manifestations of this complex disease include motor impairments involving
resting tremor, bradykinesia, postural instability, gait difficulty and rigidity. Current
medications only provide symptomatic relief and fail to halt the death of dopaminergic
neurons.
