24
Q

Huntingtons etiology

A

decreased GABA, increased glutamate in basal ganglia

25
Q

Huntingtons symptoms

A
  1. emotional cognitive 2. motor (fidget, klutz) 3. chorea.- jerky involuntary movements 4. degenerative (ends with athetosis- slowed movements and dementia)
26
Q

Parkinsons etiology

A

decreased dopamine in the substantia nigra (thalamus and frontal lobe too)

27
Q

Parkinsons symptoms

A

tremors, rigidity, akathisia (restlessness), slowed speech and movement (akinesia), depression

28
Q

multiple sclerosis (MS) etiology

A

progressive degeneration of myelin

29
Q

MS symptoms

A

autoimmune; relapsing-remitting type evolves into secondary progressive type; tremors, speech, swallowing, hearing, mood, it all goes

30
Q

Alzheimers NT

A

acetylcholine

31
Q

Alzheimers stages

A

steady and progressive decline in memory and 1+ other cognitive area. 1. anterograde/declarative memory 2. retrograde amnesia 3. severe deterioration of memory and functioning

32
Q

brain damage to dorsolateral PFC

A

dysexecutive syndrome (DUH) = simple minded, apathetic, impaired judgement, planning, insight, and organization

33
Q

brain damage to orbitofrontal pfc

A

disinhibition syndrome= pseudopsychopathy, inappropriate behavior (ORBIT around ME)

34
Q

damage to mediofrontal PFC

A

apathetic syndrome (MEH)= pseudodepression

35
Q

damage to Broca’s area PFC

A

Broca’s aphasia (BUH, BUH, BROKEN, non-fluent)- can’t produce speech, frustrated

36
Q

Wernicke’s aphasia

A

fluent aphasia (WHAT), can’t understand language, produce language but it doesn’t make sense

37
Q

damage to parietal cortex

A

somatosensory cortex, all the “ias”, apraxia, agnosia, etc.
