Q

c-fos

A

Udtryk af c-fos er en indirekte markør for neuronal aktivering da den ofte er udtrykt I neuronerne efter aktionspotentialer.
• Et forøget udtryk af c-fos indikerer at neuronerne for nylig har været aktive

Q

Symptomer for Schizo

A
  • Positive (hallucinations, obsession, disorganised speech and thinking)
  • Negative (lack of self-care, asocial, decreased motivation)

Q

Induced hyperactivity tests

A

Typical antipsychotics:
Block receptors in the brain’s dopamine pathways (dopamine
antagonist)

a) Amphetamine Induced hyperactivity
(increases concentration of dopamine, seritonine and noradrenaline (norepinephrine)
b) Cocaine Induced hyperactivity
(increases concentration of dopamine, seritonine and noradrenaline (norepinephrine)

Q

PCP disease-models (schizo)

A

PCP (Phencyclidine) is a non-competitive N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist

Administration of PCP and PCP-like compounds results in NMDA receptor hypo-function (NRhypo)

Q

PCP virkning

A

Administration of PCP and PCP-like compounds has been shown to induce schizophrenic-like symptoms in healthy humans as well as in rodents, and to exacerbate symptoms in schizophrenic patients.

Q

Årsager til Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

A
  • Stressful events during childhood
  • Chemical changes in the brain
  • Genes (one parent with depression increases risk X3) -Triggered by stressful events (HPA-axis)

16
Q

Factors that increases risk of developing MDD

A
  • High risk after thrombosis in the brain
  • Increased risk if you live alone
  • If you are alcoholic
  • Use of amphetamine and/ or epecially ecstasy
  • Increased risk with age
17
Q

Patogenesen MDD

A

Depression is due to a state of deprivation in the synapses of one or more neurotransmitters (serotonin, noradrenalin)

18
Q

Treatment of MDD

A

1)Psychotherapy

2) Pharmacological
- Tricyclic antidepressants (TCA’s)
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI’s)
- Norepinephrine-Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (NSRI’s)
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI’s)

3) Electrotherapy
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)

19
Q

genetiske rotte sygdomsmodeller for MDD

A
  • Glucocorticoid receptor transgenic mice (HPA-system)

- Dopamine (DAT) transporter knockout mice

20
Q

farmakologiske rotte sygdomsmodeller for MDD

A

Withdrawal from chronic psychostimulants (amphetamine, cocaine i.e.)

21
Q

Non-farmakologiske rotte sygdomsmodeller for MDD

A
  • Pre-natal stress (cage in angle, elevated, restraint)

- Chronic mild stress (CMS)

22
Q

Alzheimers sygdom

A
  • Akkumulation af beta-amyloid plaques ekstracellulært
  • Intracellulære neurofibrillary tangles (”sammenfiltringer”)
  • Granulovakuolær degeneration i hippocampus
23
Q

demens versus alzheimers

A
  • Demens er et symptombillede (svækkelse som sker i løbet af livet)
  • Alzheimers er den hyppigste årsag til at få demens (presenil demens)
24
Q

Symptomer på Alzheimers

A
  • svækket hukommelse, der hurtigt forværres
  • skriger højt uden nogen indlysende grund
  • har svært ved at læse og skrive
  • desorientering og forvirring
  • svært ved at forstå nemme spørgsmål
25
Q

Patogenese Alzherimers

A

o mutationer i APP + enzymer
o aldrig mutationer i Tau-genet
o Beta-amyloid fører til tanglets
o Tanglets styrer sygdomsudviklingen

26
Q

Patogenese for dyremodeller Alzherimers

A

o mutationer i APP + enzymer
o mutationer i tau-genet (modsat msk)
o MEN beta-amyloid fører IKKE til tanglets (modsat msk)

27
Q

Parkinson’s disease

A

IKKE noget man dør af, men noget man dør med!

De fleste får det omkring 65 års alderen.

Dopamin nedsættende

28
Q

Symptomer på Parkinson’s

A
  • hypokinesis
  • tremor (ryster)
  • rigiditis
  • bending the trunk forward
  • mest psykologisk i det også -> hjernen skal overbevises om at den kan noget

Man bliver også deprimeret og aldrig rigtig glad eller rigtig ked af det, stresset osv. (alt hvad Dopamin normalt stimulerer!)

29
Q

Patogenese Parkinson’s

A
  • man mister de Dopamin producerende celler/neuroner. → giver rystelser og ikke en kontinuerlig motorisk bevægelse
  • Alpha-synuclein (protein i hjernen) intraneural inclusions aggregated to form Lewy bodies
  • Man mister også Adrenalin producerende celler!
30
Q

Behandling mod Parkinson’s

A
  • Farmakologi:
    o Levodopa (L-DOPA)
    o Dopamin agonists
  • Surgical
    o Deep brain stimulation (sætter en elektrode ind i hjernen som giver et elektrisk stimuli–> dopamin produktionen stimuleres)
    o Implantation of cells
