Parkinson’s disease was first studied by James Parkinson in 1817, which resulted in the identification of the common symptoms of the disease. (Parkinson’s Disease Information, 2014) This disease is characterized by a progressive loss of muscle control. This loss of muscle control

muscular rigidity, slowness of movement, a resting tremor, and posture instability. Underlying neurobiology: According to the text, there is a near-disappearance of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Of the surviving dopaminergic neurons there are lewy-bodies present. Genetic

cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) in oligodendrocytes (Wakabayashi et al., 1998). The accumulation of α-syn aggregates is associated with glial pathology and neuroinflammation in MSA and other α-synucleinopathies such as, Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (Fellner et al., 2011). Microglia activation has also been implicated in α-synucleinopathies as well as other neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (Fellner et al. 2011; Minagar et

REM behavior disorder (RBD) is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that causes abnormal sleep phenomenon in which individuals act out their dreams. Individuals RBD have been observed flailing their arms and legs as if defending themselves against imaginary enemies. In some severe cases, people with RBD have gotten out of bed, driven cars, harmed themselves, and assaulted family members. In one of the more frightening cases of RBD discussed during the lecture, a police officer awoke with his gun pointed

At adult normal physiological condition, microglial display surveillance or so-called ‘resting’ phenotypes gauged by small cell body with extensively ramifying processes that actively surveying the CNS microenvironment. In this steady state, the turnover processes is primarily confined and well-maintained through local self-renewal of the long-lived resident microglial. Anomalies

are three such categories: disorders of posture, locomotion, and speech. Disorders of posture are divided into deficits of equilibrium and fixation. Disorders of fixation center on the inability of a patient to begin or to maintain a part of his/her body in its normal position. Usually what is seen is a drooping
