Dopamine (DA, contracted from 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.
Your movements are coordinated by a section of the brain called the basal ganglia. In this section, there are nerve cells that produce a chemical called dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters pass from cell to cell, sending signals through the body. In people with Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells that produce dopamine don't work properly and less dopamine is produced. The basal ganglia doesn't have enough dopamine to send clear signals throughout the nerves, so movement isn't communicated as clearly. As a result, coordination and mobility become less smooth.
