Neurological Disorders (Patho)

During fetal development, the neural tube forms from ________ at ~18 days of gestation. Starts as open-ended structure, closes ~28 days gestation, brain starts to develop.

Rapid, intermittent contraction of a muscle in response to a sudden stretch which occurs in UMN lesions is:

Which of the following is true about CSF?

When drainage of CSF is compromised, the ventricles expand= increased pressure on the brain (Hydrocephalus). Pressure is reduced via a ______ which drains into the abdominal cavity.

Cerebrum/cerebral cortex- each area of cerebral cortex is associated with a different function. (Ex: Language, perception, movement etc.)

The Vestibular system is responsible for which of the following?

The Limbic system is associated with emotions and long term memory.

Damage to peripheral nerves may be reversible or irreversible.

Temporary damage to a nerve, caused by pressure without structural changes, and may cause temporary paralysis is called:

Degeneration of neuronal axon (which may or may not grow back)/ Neural sheath remains in tact and temporary or permanent damage may occur describes:

Damage to the axon and neural sheath resulting in permanent paralysis is:

When compression of the nerve occurs where the nerve root exits the intervertebral foramen is:

Chiari malformations is a defect of the cerebellum which causes blockage of CSF flow, and _______ protrudes into spinal canal through the foramen magnum and causes pressure on the spinal cord.

Treatment for Arnold-Chiari malformation is surgical decompression, and PT treatment may be involved with balance & coordination disorders associated with the cerebellum.

Signs/symptoms of Autism Spectrum disorder include poor eye contact, short attention span, delayed speech, sensitivity to light, touch and sound, slapping, banging head etc., and unable to interpret facial expressions/body language.

When working with a patient with dementia, simple commands, firm but calm voice, mobility & strengthening and balance activities are appropriate indications.

Which of the following is true about patients with Alzheimer's disease?

Which of the following is true about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?

Patients with Alzheimer's disease have large numbers of tangles of __________. Plaques & amyloid (protein) tissue accumulate and prevents normal transmission of nerve impulses.

Treatments of seizures may include _________ medications, vagus nerve stimulation, brain surgery (remove area of brain responsible for local seizures) or hemispherectomy, ketogenic diet (high fat, no sugars).

An autoimmune disorder (triggered by previous infection such as the flue or traumatic event) in which the immune system attacks the neural tissue, which breaks down the myelin sheath & axons of the peripheral nerves is:

Which of the following are signs/symptoms of Guillain Barre Syndrome/ Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Neuropathy?

Which of the following is true regarding Neuropathy/Polyneuropathy

Long version of _______=makes long huntington protein, long protein breaks into segments that coagulate & build up in the neurons of the brain. Normal huntington protein is though to protect neurons of brain from self destruction.

Which of the following are true about Huntington's disease?

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune, chronic, demyelinating neurological disorder of the CNS.

Defect in the _______ 2& 7 alpha genes that reduce ability of T cells to switch off the immune response attack of myelin in CNS. Scar tissue (sclerosis) from demyelinated nerves causes plaque to build up in spinal cord & brain which disrupts normal electrical impulses.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic & progressive dz that affects to ____ (particularly the substantia nigra) ; death of substantia nigra leads to decreased DOPAMINE production.

Dopamine (with balance of acetylcholine) controls movement=primarily initiation & control of movements (also assoc. with limiting involuntary movementts).

Treatment of Parkinson's includes L-dopa (precursor of dopamine, but able to cross blood-brain barrier) and anticholinergic meds)

Reverberating head injury may sustain 2 head injuries ( MVA with a coup and _______ injury). Epidural hematoma/ subdural hematoma causes increased pressure in brain (ICP) ischemia to brain, pressure must be released=craniotomy.
