Parkinson disease was first documented and recognized by a British physician, [[James Parkinson]] in 1817 who named it paralysis agitans. The first underlying [[pathology]] of Parkinson disease was described by a German [[pathologist]] Frederick Lewy in 1912. He described that there are [[cytoplasmic]] [[inclusions]] in some [[brain]] areas of [[Parkinson's disease|PD]] patients. in 1967 the drug “[[L-dopa]]” was introduced to the market as a treatment of Parkinson ’s disease.

Overview

Parkinson disease was first documented and recognized by a British physician, James Parkinson in 1817 who named it paralysis agitans. The first underlying pathology of Parkinson disease was described by a German pathologist Frederick Lewy in 1912. He described that there are cytoplasmic inclusions in some brain areas of PD patients. in 1967 the drug “L-dopa” was introduced to the market as a treatment of Parkinson ’s disease.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • Parkinson disease was first documented and recognized by a British physician, James Parkinson in 1817 who named it paralysis agitans.[1]
  • The current name of the disease (Parkinson disease) is from Jean-Martin Charcot.[2]
  • The first underlying pathology of Parkinson disease was described by a German pathologist Frederick Lewy in 1912. He described that there are cytoplasmic inclusions in some brain areas of PD patients.[1]
  • Later on in 1919 Tretiakoff showed that in this patients’ substantia nigra there are evidences of neuronal loss.
  • Finally in the 1950s dopamine depletion was known to be the underlying cause of the disease.[3]
  • Later, in 1967 the drug “L-dopa” was introduced to the market as a treatment of Parkinson ’s disease.[4][5][6]
