The foremost motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease are resting tremor, cogwheel rigidity, hypokinesia/bradykinesia, and postural instability. Epidemiological and clinical data reveal that a wide variety of additional complaints (nonmotor symptoms), also considerably impar patients' quality of life parallel to the chronic-progressive neurodegenerative disorder. This article reviews the neuropathology and anatomy of Lewy pathology-related neurodegeneration in relation to selected nonmotro and prodromal dysfunctions. (C) 2012 Movement Disorder Society
