The primary fault in Parkinson's Disease is in the dopaminergic neurons in the brain. Nerves connect the brain to muscles all over the body. Muscles are involved in a wide variety of bodily functions, such as respiration and digestion - not just movement.
The dopaminergic neurons are also connected to other parts of the brain such as those affecting the emotions and smell. This is why the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease can be so widespread.
