15
Q

Epilepsy Treatments : Brain Surgery

A

Remove seizure focus
Cut corpus callosum: axons interconnecting the two hemispheres to prevent abnormal activity spreading from one hemisphere to the other.
Hemispherectomy - young children

16
Q

Epilepsy Treatment: VNS

A

Vagal nerve stimulator,
- delivers electrical stimulation to the brain via the vagus nerve.

17
Q

Multiple Sclerosis (what happens in the CNS)

A
  • Loss of myelin
  • Replaced with Scar tissues (Sclerosis)
  • Risk of MS increased dramatically after infection with Epstein Bar Virus
18
Q

MS and Pregnancy

A
  • Pregnancy reduces the number of ms exacerbations with an increase in naturally occurring immunosuppressants.
19
Q

Typical Alzheimers Disease: genetic contribution- apolipoprotein E (3 forms )

A

APOE e2- least common, reduce the risk of AD
APOE e3- most common doesn’t affect the risk in either direction
APOE e4- little more common, increase the risk of AD

20
Q

Dementia Causes
(not only AD)

A
  • Vascular dementia - impaired blood supply (stroke or smaller bleeds/blockages)
  • Lewy bodies - abnormal accumulations of protein
  • Mixed
21
Q

AD treatments

A

-Aricept- keep acetylcholine levels high by blocking enzymes that degrade it.
- Namenda - blocks one class of glutamate, too much glutamate may cause cell damage
