Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is caused by a deficiency of dopamine in the basal nuclei, leading to impaired movement and tremors. Schizophrenia is associated with an excess of dopamine, epilepsy is not directly related to dopamine deficiency, depression is associated with low levels of serotonin, and aphasia is a language disorder usually caused by brain damage rather than neurotransmitter deficiency.
