Brief Explanations

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. In Parkinson's disease, there is a significant loss of dopamine - producing neurons in the substantia nigra. This leads to motor symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and postural instability.
Brain cancer is mainly related to abnormal cell growth in the brain. Alzheimer's disease is associated with amyloid plaques and tau tangles rather than dopamine deficiency. Dementias other than Alzheimer's may have various etiologies (such as vascular dementia related to cerebrovascular issues) but not specifically dopamine - related in the same way as Parkinson's.

Answer:

Parkinson disease.
