Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

1.1K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.
Homeostatic Imbalances:
Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
Parkinson's disease arises...

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

486
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

46
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

449
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder01:15

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

154
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the absence of muscle paralysis that normally occurs during the REM phase of sleep. This absence allows individuals to physically act out their dreams, which are often vivid and disturbing. Common behaviors exhibited during episodes include kicking, punching, and yelling. These actions can be dangerous, potentially leading to injuries for the person with RBD or their bed partner.
RBD is significantly associated with...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Functional neurological disorder (FND) presents with neurological symptoms lacking structural or anatomical explanation.
  • While core diagnostic and management principles overlap with pediatric cases, adult FND presents unique complexities.
  • This review focuses on adult-specific considerations for FND.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the diagnostic considerations for functional neurological disorder (FND) in adults.
  • To outline the evaluation and management strategies pertinent to adult FND cases.
  • To address the complexities specific to diagnosing and treating FND in the adult population.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on functional neurological disorder (FND) in adults.
  • Synthesis of diagnostic criteria and clinical guidelines for adult FND.
  • Analysis of management approaches tailored to adult patients with FND.

Main Results:

  • Diagnostic challenges in adults include symptom variability and overlap with other neurological conditions.
  • Evaluation requires a thorough clinical assessment integrating neurological and psychological perspectives.
  • Management emphasizes patient education, validation of symptoms, and multidisciplinary treatment approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Functional neurological disorder (FND) in adults requires specialized diagnostic and management strategies.
  • Understanding the unique aspects of adult FND is crucial for effective patient care.
  • Further research is needed to refine treatment protocols for adult FND.
