Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview01:24

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

1.3K
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

7.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Functional Groups02:45

Functional Groups

88.5K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

2.6K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.
James envisioned psychology's...

Mechanical Protein Functions01:58

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.6K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Child Psychiatry

Background:

  • Executive functioning (EF) deficits are common in youth with epilepsy.
  • Understanding distinct EF phenotypes is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify executive functioning (EF) phenotypes in children with epilepsy.
  • Examine how these EF phenotypes relate to psychosocial and medical outcomes, including quality of life and emotional/behavioral functioning.

Main Methods:

  • Latent class analysis was used to identify EF phenotypes in 237 children (ages 5-18) with epilepsy.
  • Data included parent-reported executive function, quality of life, and emotional/behavioral measures, alongside seizure history.

Main Results:

  • Four EF phenotypes were identified: No EF deficits, Global EF deficits, Behavioral Regulation + Working Memory deficits, and Metacognitive deficits.
  • Significant differences in health-related quality of life and emotional/behavioral functioning were observed across EF phenotypes.
  • Children with Global EF deficits or Behavioral Regulation + Working Memory deficits reported the most significant impairments.

Conclusions:

  • Variability in executive functioning phenotypes is strongly linked to patient-reported outcomes in youth with epilepsy.
  • Interventions for executive functioning deficits should be individualized based on a child's specific EF phenotype for optimal results.
