Introduction Parkinsons disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative and chronic disorder of the central nervous system that progresses slowly and progressively incapacitates the person who suffers it. PD is often classified as a movement disorder, but it also produces some alterations in certain mental functions such as memory, learning and the expression of emotions. This disease…

The term neurodegenerative disease contains different conditions that affect the neurons in the human brain. Neurons are the nerve cells in the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Neurons usually dont reproduce so when they get damaged they die off and cant be replaced by the body. This is why neurodegenerative diseases like…

Abstract This paper explores the classification of audio signals feature dataset to diagnosis Parkinsons disease (PD), mainly it effects the central nervous system, Parkinsons disease patient typically have a low-volume noise with a monotone quality. Firstly, James Parkinson described Parkinsons disease as a neurological syndrome. In this research, we build a program to find a…

Parkinsons Disease, a disease many people are all too familiar with, is a serious neurological disorder that involves a long-term degeneration of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Parkinsons, or PD for short, affects more than 10 million people globally and over 60,000 Americans alone are diagnosed with PD each year (GBD, 2016). People affected by…

Parkinsons Disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects the movement and often includes tremors. Damage to the nerve cells in the brain causes the dopamine levels to drop which leads to the actual symptoms of Parkinsons disease. This disease was discovered by James Parkinson in 1817. He wrote an essay on…

ABSTRACT Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and degenerative disorder that results from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. This study includes age-related neurodegeneration such as PD. As the human lifespan is undeniably increasing, there is an increase in the constant threat of being affected by age-related diseases like PD, Alzheimer’s, etc. According to recent studies, it…

Parkinsons disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease caused by the lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which acts as a chemical messenger in the brain; it has no known cure (Bruggman and Ortiz-Hartman). Due to lack of dopamine, those diagnosed may experience tremors, slow or loss of physical movement, dementia, bowel and bladder problems,…
