The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the neurotransmitter deficiency that causes Parkinson's disease, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Parkinson's Disease**: - Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the deterioration of neurons, particularly in specific areas of the brain that control movement. 2. **Identify the Role of Neurotransmitters**: - Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses from one neuron to another. Different neurotransmitters play various roles in the nervous system. 3. **Evaluate the Options**: - The question provides four options for the neurotransmitter deficiency: - **Option 1: Acetylcholine**: This neurotransmitter is primarily involved in the parasympathetic nervous system and muscle contraction. - **Option 2: Dopamine**: This neurotransmitter is crucial for movement control and is significantly affected in Parkinson's disease. - **Option 3: GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)**: This is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, but it is not directly related to Parkinson's disease. - **Option 4: Norepinephrine**: This neurotransmitter is involved in the body's response to stress and does not play a direct role in Parkinson's disease. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: - Among the options, Dopamine (Option 2) is the neurotransmitter whose deficiency is directly linked to the symptoms and progression of Parkinson's disease. The loss of dopamine-producing neurons leads to the characteristic motor symptoms of the disease. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Dopamine**. ### Final Answer: - The deficiency of **Dopamine** is responsible for Parkinson's disease. ---
