                    [Title] => Early Parkinson’s detection offers greater hope
                    [Summary] => Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease become evident when an area of the brain called the substantia nigra begins to degenerate. Neurons (brain cells) in the substantia nigra slowly die, depriving the brain of dopamine, a chemical messenger or neurotransmitter that enables communication among the brain cells involved in smooth motor control.
