Other signals pass via B to basal ganglia, damp A signals, reduce muscle tone to smooth movement. Dopamine in basal ganglia causes damping. Acetylcholine inhibits damping. PD basal ganglia degeneration depletes dopamine & basal ganglia are prevented from modifying pathways controlling muscle contraction. Muscles become tense, tremor, rigid, & slow. Drugs increase DOP/oppose…
