Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness, disability,...
Human Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...
Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain that...
Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality01:27

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...
Dark Triad and Person Perception01:29

Dark Triad and Person Perception

Person perception is influenced by both external behaviors and the observer’s internal characteristics, including personality traits. Individuals with dark personality traits, comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism — collectively known as the dark triad – exhibit manipulative and exploitative tendencies in social contexts. These traits affect how they perceive others and how they are perceived.The Role of Dark Personality Traits in Person PerceptionBlack et al. (2014) explored...
Alzheimer Disease ll: Pathophysiology01:23

Alzheimer Disease ll: Pathophysiology

Alzheimer disease involves structural changes in the brain that begin long before symptoms appear. The most distinctive features are extracellular neuritic plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles.Neuritic plaques form in the cerebral cortex and around blood vessels. These plaques contain a dense core of beta-amyloid (Aβ)—a toxic protein fragment that clumps outside neurons. The core is surrounded by damaged neuronal extensions, as well as reactive astrocytes and microglia. Abnormal...

Summary

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improved how patients with Parkinson disease (PD) experienced their valued personal characteristics. Both patients and their care partners reported more positive manifestations of these traits after DBS.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor function and quality of life in Parkinson disease (PD) patients.
  • Potential impacts of DBS on self-perception and personality warrant investigation.
  • Previous studies have methodological limitations in assessing DBS effects on personal characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if DBS is associated with changes in personally meaningful characteristics for PD patients.
  • To assess the manifestation of individually identified personal characteristics post-DBS.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort study involving 52 PD patients and their care partners.
  • Visual analog scales (VAS) measured the manifestation of top 3 feared-lost personal characteristics before and 6/12 months after DBS.
  • Qualitative content analysis of patient and care partner feedback.

Main Results:

  • Patients and care partners reported increased manifestation of valued characteristics after DBS (p < .001).
  • Individual-level analyses showed scores remained stable or increased for most participants.
  • Patient and care partner reports of change were correlated, indicating agreement.

Conclusions:

  • DBS is associated with greater, positive manifestations of individually identified characteristics in PD patients.
  • Findings suggest DBS may positively influence self-perception related to valued traits.
  • Results can inform decision-making for PD patients considering DBS.
