概括
神经血管合 (NVC) 在肌缩侧硬化症 (ALS) 患者的默认模式网络 (DMN) 中减少. 这种NVC损伤可能预测疾病进展的速度更快,并有助于临床试验患者的选择.
科学领域:
- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 神经学 神经学
背景情况:
- 肌缩侧面硬化症 (ALS) 是一种进展性神经退行性疾病.
- 神经血管合 (NVC) 的变化,即大脑活动和血液流动之间的关系,可能表明ALS中神经血管单元功能障碍.
研究的目的:
- 通过在休息状态的大脑网络中关联功能连接和脑血流来研究NVC.
- 为了比较ALS患者和健康对照 (HCs) 之间的NVC.
- 根据ALS进展率来探索NVC差异.
主要方法:
- 从48名ALS患者和32名HC患者获得3T核磁共振扫描.
- 在临床上对ALS患者进行了评估,并将其分为非常快,快速或缓慢进展.
- 休息状态功能性MRI被用来分析大规模大脑网络中的NVC.
主要成果:
- 与HCs相比,在ALS患者的默认模式网络 (DMN) 中观察到NVC显著减少.
- 在DMN中的NVC差异在非常快进度者 (VFP) 和缓慢进度者 (SP) 之间是显著的.
- 在基线时受损的DMNNVC有效地区分了VFP和SP (AUC=75%) 并与认知和行为评分相关.
结论:
- 在DMN中减少的NVC表明ALS中广泛存在神经血管单元异常.
- DMN NVC 变化可能预测更快的 ALS 进展.
- 对NVC的评估可能有助于在临床试验中选择和监测患者.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
448
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...

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.

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment
165
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview
482
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...
