Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and slowed movements. Alzheimer's disease and depression are not primarily associated with motor symptoms, and Huntington's disease is caused by a different mechanism (an inherited genetic mutation).
