Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The basal ganglia influence hypothalamic function (autonomic and neuroendocrine) through pathways connecting the hypothalamus with the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Common autonomic symptoms in Parkinson disease include inappropriate diaphoresis, gastric retention, constipation, and urinary retention. Neither vomiting nor diarrhea would be clinical manifestation observed under these circumstances.
