  • Loss of nerve cells in the brain the Substantia Nigra
  • They produce a chemical called Dopamine
  • Dopamine acts as messenger between parts of the brain and nervous system that controls and co-ordinates body movement.
  • If these nerve cells  die or become damaged the amount of dopamine is reduced
  • Part of the brain controlling movement cannot work as normal causing movements to become slow and abnormal
  • Symptoms develop when approx 7080% of nerve cells are damaged
