Parkinson's symptoms:

shuffling gait - postural form

Cogwheel rigidity - muscle tension halts movement during limb manipulation

masklike facies - static facial features, open mouth, staring eyes

pill-rolling tremor - flexing/extending the fingers while moving the thumb back/forth

resting tremor - nonmoving muscular tremor

bradykinesia - slow movement

Substantia Nigra - layer of cell that produce dopamine

Basal ganglia - initiates & terminates movements; sustaining repetivie motor tasks & smoothening of motions

L-Dopa - converted to dopamine once in the brain; replaces dopamine lost due to Parkinson's

Depression & Dementia are both common in parkinson's
