📖 題組：
Parkinson’s disease was renamed after Dr. James Parkinson, an English physician who first described its symptoms in 1817, by Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology. This disease is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. Early in the disease, the most obvious symptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking. So far scientists have no idea about what causes the disease, but many believe it involves both genetic and environmental factors. Those with a family member affected are more likely to get the disease themselves. There is also an increased risk in people exposed to certain pesticides and those who have had prior head injuries, while there is a reduced risk in tobacco smokers and those who drink coffee or tea. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but medications may markedly improve the patients’ symptoms. Initial treatments typically involve taking drugs. As the disease progresses, these medications become less effective while producing a complication marked by involuntary writhing movements at the same time. Customized diets and some forms of rehabilitation have shown some effectiveness on alleviating its symptoms. This disease usually hits the victims before they or their family observe the symptoms. Also, a detected symptom would usually be ignored or treated improperly. While there is no record of recoveries, little evidence has shown that the disease is a direct contributor to death.

文本細節解析
這題的答題關鍵在於文章首句的結構。文中提到巴金森氏症被重新命名（renamed），而執行這個動作的主動者是位於介系詞 by 之後的 Jean-Martin Charcot。在 Charcot 的名字後面，作者緊接著用了同位語來描述他的背景：a French neurologist（一位法國神經學家）。雖然句子開頭提到了英國醫生 James Parkinson，但他扮演的角色是「首位描述症狀者」而不是「命名者」，這是答題時最重要的區別。
