Huntington’s disease, also known as Huntington’s chorea, is a rare pathology among the nervous system. With fewer than 200,000 US cases per year is an inherited condition in which nerve cells in the brain break down over a period of time. This disease will usually start to effect people when they are in their 30s or 40s. Huntington’s usually results in psychiatric symptoms, progressive movement and thinking. No cure to this disease exists but physical therapy, drugs, and talk therapy can help manage
plant experiments between 1856 and 1863 through which he established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Mendel’s Law of Inheritance: This law involves inheritance of biological features. In 1915 Mendel 's theories were integrated with the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan and they became the core of classical genetics. Then in 1930 Ronald Fisher combined them with the theory of natural selection in his book The Genetical
Huntington’s disease INTRODUCTION & AIM The aim of this project is to discuss the various components that shape Huntington’s disease. The efficiency of this paper will depend heavily on a brief but, comprehensive examination of past and future research that may offer plausible suggestions and explanations to the following four subtopics; the history of Huntington’s disease, anticipation and genetic markers of Huntington’s disease, symptoms and treatment of Huntington’s disease and finally living
1) Abstract: Although Anti-sense Therapy has limitations related to targeted drug delivery, it is still considered as one of the promising technology for treating most of the Rare and Inherited disorders, being categorized as precision medicine has advanced very much with recent advances in drug delivery technologies like lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, cell-targeting technologies. Anti-sense drugs are seen as most potential drugs for treating debilitating conditions with more targeted approach
1. Review the anatomy of the brain. Which portion is responsible for keeping you awake, controlling thought, speech, emotions and behavior, maintaining balance and posture? Emotions and behavior are controlled by the hypothalamus (p.455) The cerebellum is responsible for maintaining balance and posture (p.455) The reticular formation is essential for maintaining wakefulness and in conjunction with the cerebral cortex is referred to as the reticular activating system (p.450) The Broca speech
