Nervous System Disorders
  1. Trauma
    1. Pattern of injury (e.g.coup/contrecoup), signs & symptoms depend on region and between which meninges
      1. Bleeding/swelling may increase intracranial pressure (if brainstem damaged/coning - coma)
        1. Concussion (brief LOC, full recovery)
          1. Contusion (bruising, full recovery may not occur)
            1. Laceration (tear of axons & blood vessels)
              1. Signs of increased intracranial pressure?
          2. Degeneration
            1. Alzheimer's
              1. Degeneration of cholinergic neurons in hippocampus, amygdala, frontal lobe
                1. Pathophys: plaques & tangles
                  1. Affects: Memory, reasoning, personality, ADL

                    1. Affects basal ganglia function: Tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia etc.

                                    1. Due to hypersensitivity of neurons/low GABA?
                              3. Cerebrovascular accident
                                1. Ischemic stroke
