Summary Introduction
To describe:
The structures which prevent the dopamine from reaching brain and the way through which these structures might be beneficial to the individual in different circumstances.
Concept introduction:
Decreased levels of neurotransmitter dopamine results in a disease named as Parkinson’s diseases. In this disease, the patient is not able to take dopamine in its drug forms as the drug is not able to reach the brain.

Parkinson disease is the result of decreased levels of theneurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. However, thesepatients can’t take dopamine in drug form because the drugcannot reach the brain. What anatomic structure preventsthe drug from reaching the brain? How could these sameanatomic structures be beneficial to an individual underdifferent circumstances?
