Basal ganglia

Initiating and smoothing voluntary movement. Parkinsonism is usually associated with this part of the nervous system.

A broad teaching association, not a diagnosis. A symptom in one area very often originates somewhere else entirely, and only a neurological examination can establish where.

Two sections through the midbrain, the upper with a dark substantia nigra and the lower with it fadedHealthyIn Parkinson’s disease
The substantia nigra is a dark band in the midbrain, named for its colour, and its cells make the dopamine that smooths movement. In Parkinson’s those cells are lost and the band fades — the change that produces the tremor and the stiffness.Illustration: Servier Medical Art, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
