Summary Introduction
To review:
The way the defective protein parkin affects the neurons and the damage it causes to the neurons.
Introduction:
PD (Parkinson’s disease) is classified as a neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor functions. Studies indicate that Parkinson’s disease is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. It is characterized by an inability to walk, shivering, slowness of movement, and sometimes anxiety and depression.
