- - - - Dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathways are destroyed, altering release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and dopamine

- - - - Social support
      - Moderate activity
      - Healthy diet
      - Education about illness and management
    - - Thalamotomy
      - Pallidotomy
    - - Dopamine receptor agonists
        
        Stimulate dopamine receptors
      - Levodopa/carbidopa combination
        
        Increases dopamine levels
      - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
        
        Inhibit dopamine breakdown
- - - - Memory loss
      - Executive tasks
      - Dementia
    - - More side effects that may be worst in severity
