		<description><![CDATA[The Michael J. Fox Foundation has a good, basic introduction to the neurobiology of Parkinson&#8217;s disease. The brief animate video provides an overview of affected parts of the brain as well as the role that dopamine, a neurotransmitter &#8211; a chemical in the brain that allows brain cells to communicate with each other &#8211; plays [...]
