概括
肌缩性侧面硬化症患者的亲属表现出认知和人格差异,这表明他们有共同的内分类型. 这些特征甚至出现在具有C9orf72扩展的家族中的非载体中.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
背景情况:
- 肌缩侧面硬化症 (ALS) 患者的第一级和第二级亲属表现出更高的神经精神疾病率.
- 这表明ALS风险基因可能是类型的,影响家族内的多个特征.
- 这些共同的特征可能代表一种与ALS易感性相关的内类型.
研究的目的:
- 研究ALS患者的亲属的认知功能和神经精神特征.
- 为了确定与ALS责任相关的潜在内分类型.
- 探索家族史和C9orf72重复扩张状态的影响.
主要方法:
- 采用了以家庭为基础的横截面研究设计.
- 149名ALS患者的一级和二级亲属与60名对照人群进行了比较.
- 进行了深入的神经心理和神经精神病学评估.
主要成果:
- 在执行功能,语言和记忆任务上,特别是对象命名和语音语言流性方面,ALS的亲属得分较低.
- 亲属表现出更高的自闭症系数,对细节的注意力更高,良心更低,对经验的开放性更低.
- 这些影响在家族ALS病例的亲属中更为明显,在C9orf72扩展家族中的携带者和非携带者中都存在.
结论:
- 较差的语音流性,对象命名,以及特定的自闭症和人格特征在ALS亲属中更为常见.
- 一种与疾病相关的内分类型似乎存在于ALS的亲属中,它不仅仅是由C9orf72扩张的介导.
- 这些发现突显了ALS复杂的遗传和表型格局.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
536
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...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview
612
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...

Lysosomal Hydrolases
3.9K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

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.
