A feeling of stiffness accompanied by frequent tremors, a feeling of losing control over movements… About 170,000 people present these typical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. This neurodegenerative pathology is 2e more common in France. This leads to progressive degeneration of the neurons that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in motor functions.
