week 14 Flashcards
ADHD onset and 2 symptms
< 12 years old
▪ Diminished sustained attention
▪ Increased impulsivity or hyperactivity
3 presentations of ADHD
▪ Predominantly inattentive presentation (6+ symptoms of inattention and a few of hyperactivity/impulsivity)
▪ Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive presentation
▪ Combined presentation
kids vs adult ADHD diagnosis
adults only need 5 of the criteria not 6
in adults think they just masked it as kids
substance use disorder is a
Chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by
▪ Compulsive drug-seeking and drug-taking disorders
▪ Loss of control over drug intake
▪ Negative affect when access to the drug is withheld
3 stages of addiction
- acute reinforcement and drug use (brain areas for motivation)
–>hijack reward system
- escalation of drug use/dependence (change brain areas in executive function and inhibitory control)
–>dorsal stratum forms habits (cues, goals)
–> impaire PFC
3.late stage- withdrawal/ incubation/ relapse (changes to reward network and executive function)
–> VTA (all stages)
–>relapse with PFC and nucleus accumbens
–> limbic (amygdala and hippocampus) = cue related and stress (CRH or cortisol)
key brain areas in substance abuse
VTA- dopamine
nucleus accubens- GABA and acetylcholine
amygdala, hippocampus, dorsal straitum, PFC
neuro in ADHD
inhibit motor, executive function, dorsal striatum thalamus
inhibit attention
inhibit timing and perception via parietal and cerebllum
reward anticipation- VTA
excessive activity of default mode network
D1 receptors and alpha adenoreceptors via stimulant medication
conjunctiva=
mucous over inner eye (palpebral) and anterior aspect of sclera (bulbar conjunctiva)
palpebrae
skin on outer, conjunctiva on inner
cilia on lid margin (eyelashes) with sebaceous glands (glands of Zeis and glands of moll)
orbicularis oculi and elevator palpebral muscles
tears via meibomian glands (sebaceous gland)
tear film consists of
tears, lipids, mucous
orbital septum
separates eyelid from orbit- barrier to infection
lacrimal glands innervation
CN VII and SNS
where do lacrimal glands drain
to lacrimal sac then inferior meatus
common bacterial and viral causes of conjunctivitis
▪ Bacterial
* Staph aureus, s. pneumonia
[[[-, H. influenzae, M.
catarrhalis
- Chlamydial and gonococcal]]]]]
▪ Viral (usually adenovirus)
is viral or bacterial conjunctivitis more common
viral
are viral and bacterial conjunctivitis self limiting
yes
bacterial vs viral conjunctivitis
▪ Bacterial conjunctivitis tends to have more purulent discharge and last for less time than a viral conjunctivitis
gornnorheal and chlamydial conjunctivitis
treat urgently bc can scar and ulcer the cornea
trachoma (ulcer, abrasion, scar cornea and conjunctiva) –> blindness (chlamydia)
blepharitis
inflamed eyelid
cause of blepharitis (inflamed eyelid)
hordeolum (stye)
seborrheic dermatitis
drugs, allergy
sjogren syndrome (autoimmune)
what causes a stye (hordeolum)
staph aureus
infects sebaceous or suderiferous gland
chalazion
granulomatous inflammation of the eye
via lipid products breakdown of bacteria or block sebaceous glands
keratitis
HSV 1 or HSV2 cause corneal damage –> ulceration
after HSV “resolution”, lives latent in trgieminal ganglion and is reactivated (ie. stress, sun, hormones)
HSV3 (herpes) causes dermatitis of CN V1 dermatome (Hutchinson’s sign if tip of nose involved)
lateral inhibition of the retina
helps to enhance the contrast between light and dark and able to do fine discrimination of edges and patterns
rod bipolar cells vs cone bipolar cells
rod- scotopic (low light) and have on centers
cone- photooptic (bright/colour) and have on centre and off centers
on center
activated when light hits the center of their receptive field, and the center is brighter than the surround.
which has on and off center in bipolar cells
rod= on
cone= on and off
oppositional regulation: on and off have opposite response to same stimuli to help contrast and edge detect –> visual acuity
one is inhibited while other stimulate
what needs to be regenerated in the dark after activation so cell can respond again
rhodopsin (in rods)
how to regenerate rodopsin
trans retinal seperates from opsin (GPCR)
opsin is bleached and inactive
trans retina goes back to cis retinal ( in pigment layer)
cis retinal combines with opsin
ready to respond to light again
in dark pupils vs light
dilate in dark
constrict in light
rods in the light are
bleached / saturated - cant respond to light
