      You may have seen the actor Michael J. Fox on TV talking about Parkinson’s disease. He has Parkinson’s disease and has founded an organization to educate people about it and help find a cure. Mostly adults - like Fox and boxer Muhammad Ali - get Parkinson’s disease, which is a disorder of the central nervous system. The central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, controls everything you do, including moving. A person with Parkinson’s disease gradually loses the ability to totally control body movements.

      In the very deep parts of the brain, there is a collection of nerve cells that help control movement, known as the basal ganglia. In a person with Parkinson’s disease, these nerve cells are damaged and do not work as well as they should. These nerve cells make and use a brain chemical called dopamine to send messages to other parts of the brain to coordinate body movements. When someone has Parkinson’s disease, dopamine levels are low. So, the body doesn’t get the right messages it needs to move normally.

      A medicine called levodopa is often given to people who have Parkinson’s disease. Called “L-dopa,” this medicine increases the amount of dopamine in the body and has been shown to improve a person’s ability to walk and move around. There are other drugs that also help decrease and manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by affecting dopamine levels. In some cases, surgery may be needed to treat it. The person would get anesthesia, a special kind of medicine to prevent pain during the operation.
