Overview

Pathophysiology

The underlying pathophysiology of Parkinson disease is dopamine depletion.The substantia nigra (SN), striatum (caudate and putamen), globus pallidus (GP), subthalamic nucleus (STN) and thalamus contribute with each other to make the extrapyramidal system or basal ganglia. The impulses from hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal supplementary motor area to the basal ganglia are excitatory mediated by glutamate. The major dopaminergic neurons are in substantia nigra and are responsible for dopaminergic input of striatum. The striatal output is inhibitory (GABA) despite the excitatory (glutamate) output of STN to the globus pallidus (medial and lateral). There are 5 dopamine receptors (D1_D5) which are in basal ganglia and limbic system. D1 and D2 are mostly found in the dorsal striatum (motor) and are activated through dopaminergic pathway from SNc, as a result, they are very important in the pathophysiology of Parkinson disease. D3 and D4 are located mostly in mesolimbic or emotional part of the brain and D5 in hippocampus/hypothalamus area.[1] In the course of the disease dopamine depletion of nigrostriatal pathway will lead to denervation hypersensitivity and increasing number of D2 receptors in dorsal putamen.[2] There are two pathways in this system: Direct and indirect pathway. In the indirect pathway starts with inhibition of striatum via D2 receptor which in turn inhibits neurons of lateral GP by GABA which inhibits the inhibition of STN by lateral GP. STN provides excitatory action on GP internal and SNr via glutamate. GPi inhibit thalamus by GABA but cortex input from thalamus is excitatory. Direct pathway starts with excitation of striatum by stimulation of D1 receptors, then striatum inhibits GP internal and SNr by GABA directly. Reduced number of dopaminergic neurons lead to increased inhibition of thalamus and as a result, decrease excitation of brain cortex, causing bradykinesia.[3] Our brain has some compensatory mechanism fighting dopamine depletion. It can increase the synthesis of dopamine, gap junctions and the number of D2 receptors.[4][5] It can also reduce the uptake of dopamine from synaptic space.[6]
