k Parkinsons disease. Coloured Computed Tomography CT scan of the brain of a patient suffering from Parkinsons disease. This is a horizontal slice through the brain. Cerebral hemispheres are green the skull is pink fluidfilled ventricles are blue at centre. Parkinsons disease has caused the ventricles to increase in size as brain tissue loses density, with death of cerebral tissue. Parkinsons disease is caused by deterioration in clusters of brain cells called the basal ganglia, which help to control muscle movement. Symptoms of the disease include tremor, joint rigidity, slow movement. The disease progresses over 1015 years to severe weakness and incapacity. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
