Movement Disorders and Parkinson's: Movement disorders is a group of neurological disorders that consist of the motor and movement systems. Some of these diseases include Parkinson’s disease, Essential tremor and Dystonia. The common feature among these disorders is that the parts of the brain that are affected are part of the same system. The group of structures often entangled in these abnormalities includes the basal ganglia (a large cluster of cells that lie deep in the hemispheres of the brain). The anatomic and biochemical connections from the basal ganglia to other parts of the brain are extremely complex, and not fully understood. Although the actual weakness can develop in some pathological states involving the basal ganglia, most of these diseases affect an individual’s speed, quality and ease of movement.
