Explain NEUROLOGYCase #1A 68-year-old Asian female is finding that she has more difficulty getting up and moving about for the past year.She is annoyed by the tremor in her hands, but the tremor goes away when she performs routine tasks using herhands, that is, resting tremor. Her friends remarked that she seems more sullen then before, doesn't smile at them,but only stares with a fixed expression on her face. She has not yet suffered any loss of mental ability.. Based on this history, what is the most likely diagnosis?• What structure in the brain is linked to this condition?• What is the pathophysiology of this disease?• How is this condition managed or treated?. What is the current literature regarding the treatment for this disease?21

Intro to Neuro Question: Huntington’s disease causes too much ballistic movement due to which of the following reasons? Group of answer choices Loss of the inhibitory connection between the striatum and the globus pallidus external Loss of the inhibitory connection between the striatum and the globus pallidus internal Loss of the inhibitory connection between the globus pallidus external and the globus pallidus internal Increased activity of globus pallidus internal neurons Is my reasoning correct? Huntington's disease is characterized by the degeneration of neurons in the striatum, particularly those that project to the globus pallidus external (GPe) in the indirect pathway. The correct reason for too much ballistic movement in Huntington's disease is: Loss of the inhibitory connection between the striatum and the globus pallidus external. This loss weakens the indirect pathway, reducing its ability to suppress unwanted movements, leading to the hyperkinetic symptoms…
A 50-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of shaking of her right arm when writing or lifting a cup. Physical examination showscoarse action tremor of the right upper extremity that worsens as she approaches the target. This patient most likely has damage to which of the following components of the brain?A) CerebellumB) Internal capsuleC) Substantia nigraD) Subthalamic nucleusE) Supplementary motor cortex
Unit Discussion Autonomic Nervous System Alain Lefevre is a 22 years old male with a history of Asthma, who plays football as a striker in a regional league. One day, on game day during the warming up session, Alain felt uncomfortable. He started to cough repeatedly, was breathing quickly gasping for air, became pale, restless, and was panicked. The coach noticed it and took him to the nearby hospital. 1. What is the diagnosis? 2. Pathophysiology of this disease 3. What division of the nervous system is responsible of the manifestation of these symptoms? 4. Which type of cholinergic or adrenergic receptors will be targeted during the treatment of this condition? 5. Which type of drug would be mainly used to relieve this patient? Why?
Intro to Neuroscience Question: Which of the following statements ACCURATELY describe spinal cord organization. α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to media such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord controls the distal muscles. Lumbar spinal cord enlargement is observed where neurons that innervate the legs and feet are located Neuronal cell bodies (somas) of neurons that innervate single muscles are only found in a single spinal cord segment. Muscles of the trunk are represented medially while muscles of arms and hands are represented laterally Group of answer choices 1, 2, 4 2, 3, 4 2, 4 4 only 1,2,3,4
Intro to Neuro Question: The striatum has an (excitatory/inhibitory) connection to the globus pallidus external. Activation of that connection (increases/decreases) activity in the globus pallidus internal, ultimately (promoting/suppressing) movement.Group of answer choicesExcitatory, increases, promotingExcitatory, increases, suppressingInhibitory, decreases, promotingInhibitory, decreases, suppressingInhibitory, increases, suppressing Is my reasoning correct? The striatum has an inhibitory connection to the globus pallidus external (GPe). Activation of that connection decreases activity in the globus pallidus internal (GPi), ultimately promoting movement. Thus, the correct group of answer choices is: Inhibitory, decreases, promoting
Coordination of muscle contractions to produce fluid movement, a function not fully developed at birth, is associated with the _____. options: basal ganglia pre-motor association area precentral motor gyrus cerebellum
3) Lucas is a 40-year old man who sustained a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in a snow skiing accident 10 years ago. The level of his injury is at C6 – he preserved function below that neurologic level. He cannot walk and he also has some impairment in the arms and hands. He is still able to use a manual wheelchair with his upper limbs’ ability. Lucas is interested in the HandbikeBattle coming up in 2024. This organized event boosts self-confidence and fitness in those who have completed rehabilitation after an injury. Lucas wishes to train this year so that he can think of going to that event. Lucas may need a power-assisted handcycle for the event, but will train with you to be properly prepared. He has not been as active in the past 5 years as he dedicated himself to his work and family and his recovery in rehab. He has a handcycle and a roller as shown below and you have agreed to meet with him to ensure he is performing safely and correctly during his weekly sessions. a) What…
