What is dopeamine?
Dopamine is one of several neurotransmitters used in chemical communication between neurons. Dopamine originates in the ventral tegmental area of the midbrain and has wide projections throughout the brain, particularly to the basal ganglia and frontal cortex. Dopamine is a central component in reinforcement-learning as well as reward processing. Parkinson's disease results in depleted dopamine concentration. In contrast, increased dopamine concentration can result in schizophrenic-like behaviors.

Is parkinson disease a result from excessive narcotics that depress the medulla oblongata?
Changes in the neurons of the subtantia nigra are responsible for Parkinson's. Dopamine produced in the nigra is insufficient or does not reach the corpus striatum which is responsible for producing smooth muscle activity, hence the tics seen in Parkinson's patients. One theory holds that toxins may influence the occurance of Parkinson's, but no definitive studies have come to that conclusion.
