Why does Parkinson’s Disease occur? Research Team Members Berfin Akıl, Zeliha Akıl, Çağdaş İlteriş Kapusız 12 May, 2017 This presentation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for PSYC 374 Biological Psychology, METU-NCC Spring 2017
The Objectives of this presentation To enlighten you about Parkinson’s Disease To show the effects of PD To make you aware of the risk factors
Outline Definition and general symptoms The causes of PD -Head injury -Shortage of dopamine -Loss of norepinephrine -Environment & Genetic Interaction Summary & Conclusion
Parkinson’s Disease
Described by James Parkinson in 1817. Syptoms Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a nervous system disorder that affects movement Described by James Parkinson in 1817. Syptoms trembling hands, jaw, arms, legs or head limbs and trunk stiffness slowness of movement (bradykinesia) imbalance
Other signs and syptoms Fatique Sleep problems Depression Behavioral change Memory difficulties Factors that effect Parkinson’s disease incidence Age Gender Heredity Environment
Head injury Injuries destroy dopamine-producing cells. Head or brain trauma causes PD.
Shortage of dopamine Dopamine is responsible for transmiting signals. nihseniorhealth.gov
Con’t Substantia nigra and corpus striatum produce smooth, purposeful movement. Lose of dopamine causes impairment in the movement examinedexistence.com
Loss of norepiephrine Loss of it explains non-movement features of parkinson’s Such as; fatigue, irregular blood pressure, postural hypotension etc.
Genetic & Environment Interaction of both Toxics and unhealthy life style Twin study No manifest evidence
Summary Symptoms Risk factors -head injury -shortage of dopamine -loss of norepinephrine -environmental and genetic factors
