Forgetfulness
Forgetfulness belongs to a group of
conditions called motor system disorders, which are the result of the loss of
dopamine-producing brain cells. The four primary symptoms of PD are tremor, or
trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs
and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or
impaired balance and coordination. As these symptoms become more pronounced,
patients may have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. PD
usually affects people over the age of 50. Early symptoms of PD are subtle and occur
gradually. In some people the disease progresses more quickly than in others.
As the disease progresses, the shaking, or tremor, which affects the majority of PD
patients may begin to interfere with daily activities. Other symptoms may include
depression and other emotional changes; difficulty in swallowing, chewing, and
speaking; urinary problems or constipation; skin problems; and sleep disruptions.
There are currently no blood or laboratory tests that have been proven to help in
diagnosing sporadic PD. Therefore the diagnosis is based on medical history and a
neurological examination. The disease can be difficult to diagnose accurately.
Doctors may sometimes request brain scans or laboratory tests in order to rule out
other diseases.
A substance called dopamine acts as a messenger between two brain areas - the
substantia nigra and the corpus striatum - to produce smooth, controlled movements.
Most of the movement-related symptoms of Parkinson's disease are caused by a lack of
dopamine due to the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra. When
the amount of dopamine is too low, communication between the substantia nigra and
corpus striatum becomes ineffective, and movement becomes impaired; the greater the
loss of dopamine, the worse the movement-related symptoms. Other cells in the brain
also degenerate to some degree and may contribute to non-movement related symptoms
of Parkinson's disease.Parkinson's disease is not understood. In general, scientists
suspect that dopamine loss is due to a combination of genetic and environmental
factors.
