Question 38

Question
Name the hyperkinetic disorder
Answer
  • Parkinsons
  • Huntingtons

Question 39

Question
In parkinsons, the death of SNc dopaminergic neurons has what effect on cortex feedback?
Answer
  • Decreased stimulation of the striatium leads to less inhibitory drive and therefore higher excitatory drive from the sub-thalamic nucleus, leading to excessive stimulation of an inhibitory signal to the thalamus and thus excitatory signals back to the cortex are reduced. (hypokineticism)
  • Decreased stimulation of the striatium leads to less inhibitory drive and therefore higher excitatory drive from the sub-thalamic nucleus, leading to excessive stimulation of an inhibitory signal to the thalamus and thus excitatory signals back to the cortex are increased. (hyperkineticism)

Question 40

Question
In huntingtons, the lack of an inhibitory striatum signal to the GPe leads to what?
Answer
  • Lack of an inhibitory signal to the GPe means that the GPe sends out excess inhibitory signals to the STN. The STN is therefore inhibited and sends out fewer excitatory signals to the SNr/GPi. This in turn causes fewer inhibitory signals to the thalamus and therefore excitatory signals from the thalamus to the cortex increase.
