Speech characteristics of patients with pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration and their application to presymptomatic detection in at-risk relatives.
PURPOSE This report describes the speech characteristics of individuals with a neurodegenerative syndrome called pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration (PPND) and examines the speech samples of at-risk, but asymptomatic, relatives for possible preclinical detection. METHOD Speech samples of 9 members of a PPND kindred were subjected to perceptual characterization. Speech deterioration patterns wer...
متن کاملLocalization of the gene for rapidly progressive autosomal dominant parkinsonism and dementia with pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration to chromosome 17q21.
Rapidly progressive autosomal dominant parkinsonism and dementia with pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration (PPND) is a neurodegenerative disorder which begins later in life (> 30 years of age) and is characterized by rapidly progressive parkinsonism, dystonia, dementia, perservative vocalizations and pyramidal tract dysfunction. The disease is observed in a large American family that includes almo...
متن کاملNeurochemistry of Nigral Degeneration
Progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra is the pathological hallmark of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD). Based on cytoarchitectonics and melanization, Hassler divided the human substantia nigra into many subsections and demonstrated that the ventral and lateral regions of the substantia nigra may be preferentially involved in early stages of the disease ...
متن کاملProteasome inhibition modeling nigral neuron degeneration in Parkinson's disease.
Impairment of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has been proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Mice with UPS impairment in the nigra have been used for investigating mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and for testing pre-clinical drugs to treat PD. However, the pathological, biochemical and behavioral features of UPS impairment animal model...
متن کاملNitrated α–Synuclein Immunity Accelerates Degeneration of Nigral Dopaminergic Neurons
BACKGROUND The neuropathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) includes loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, nitrated alpha-synuclein (N-alpha-Syn) enriched intraneuronal inclusions or Lewy bodies and neuroinflammation. While the contribution of innate microglial inflammatory activities to disease are known, evidence for how adaptive immune mechanisms may affect the course of PD rem...
