hitmankratos Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi, I am doing a science fair project on a Parkinson's disease and I am wondering how can a lack of dopamine affect movement, as such to cause Parkinson's Disease? Doesn't dopamine affect desire and motivation? So why does someone start shaking when there's a lack of dopamine? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahsan Iqbal Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and its deficiency or the damage to its receptors can interfere with normal nervous conduction. I think that is why the symptoms appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
