The symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, such as tremors, rigidity, postural instability, and other disorders of movement, are considered a result of declining levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. In Parkinson's Disease there is a degenerative process in the brain that leads to a marked decrease in synthesis of dopamine and a resultant drop in its levels in the substantia nigra and corpus striatum (two areas of the brain where dopamine synthesis is important). The lowering of dopamine results in raising the ratio of acetylcholine to dopamine, in cells of the nigrostriatal system. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle cells. It is considered that the higher ratio of acetylcholine to dopamine leads to over-stimulating muscle cells and this imbalance contributes to the various disorders of movement found in Parkinson's Disease.
