Question 5 of 5
Which neurons are involved in parkinsonism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Parkinsonism is primarily characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to reduced dopamine levels in the basal ganglia. While cholinergic and GABAergic neurons play roles in basal ganglia circuitry, the core pathology of Parkinsonism centers on dopaminergic neuron loss, making 'Dopaminergic neurons' the correct choice.
