Is Parkinson's disease contagious

One: Parkinson's disease, also known as tremor paralysis, is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in the elderly.

Second, after the pathological changes of the cells in substantia nigra, the synthesis of dopamine is reduced and the function of inhibiting acetylcholine is reduced, so the excitatory effect of acetylcholine is relatively enhanced.

Third, the imbalance between the two results in "tremor paralysis". It's not contagious.
