James Parkinson was the first to extensively document PD in 1817. However, the first pathological evidence linking damage to the substantia nigra to PD pathogenesis wasn’t proposed until the 1920s through studies conducted by Tretiakoff and Brissaud.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that has an important role in neuromodulation, motor control, and cognitive function. In PD, dopamine is depleted due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, which contributes to a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms.
