The structure whose abnormal function is associated with Parkinson's disease is the Basal ganglia.

When nerve cells in the basal ganglia, a region of the brain that regulates movement, are damaged or killed, it results in the most noticeable signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Dopamine is a crucial brain chemical that is normally produced by these nerve cells or neurons.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive condition that affects the brain's motor neuron cells, which control how the body moves. Tremor, sluggishness, stiffness, and balance issues are symptoms of dying dopamine-producing neurons. Treatments emphasize symptom relief to free up more energy for action.

The basal ganglia and the substantia nigra, two deep regions of the brain, are affected by the degenerative, progressive disorder known as Parkinson's disease (PD).

What do bears depend on for nutrition.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Fish and meat are important sources of protein and fat, though most non-coastal bears rely on carrion (including winter-killed animals)

Explanation:

Some bears, become very effective predators on newborn elk, moose, deer or caribou. Others live in areas where salmon, su.ckers or other fish spawn for part of each year.

When bears emerge from their dens in the spring, food is in short supply. Although bears are hungry, most trees and shrubs won’t leaf for another month and only the grass at lower elevations has begun to green up.
