Parkinson’s diseaseBasal ganglia
Parkinson’s diseaseMost common symptoms
Shaking (tremor) at Rest
Stiffness (rigidity)
Slow Movement (bradykinesia)Balance Problems (postural instability)
Multiple sclerosis
Myelin
Multiple sclerosis
Demyelination
Multiple sclerosisProgression
AMLAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(Lou Gherig disease”)
Mutation or defect in neuronal SOD activity
Excess oxidative stress to neuronal mitochondria
Degeneration of motor neurons
Paralysis – muscular atrophy
Exacerbated by glutamate neurotransmitter activity
