Is Huntington's Disease a defect of the cerebellar cortex?
No. Huntington's Disease is a pathological process affecting subcortical structures, not the cerebellar cortex. It does cause generalized atrophy of the cerebral cortex, over time, however. It is a genetic disorder, autosomal dominant in its transmission process, and occurring on chromosome number 4.
What is the meaning of the word subcortical?
The term subcortical refers to structures or processes that lie beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. These subcortical structures are involved in functions such as regulating emotions, motor control, and processing sensory information.
Are stria terminalis considered as projection fibers?
Projection fibers are usually considered as those fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to subcortical structures and vice versa. The stria terminalis connects the amygdala to the hypothalamus - i.e., two subcortical structures. So, on this basis they are not projection fibers. But because they connect subcortical structures they are referred to as 'association fibers'.
What form of CAA is Flemish type of hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis?
autosomal dominant, with a mutation involving the amyloid precursor protein. Symptoms include brain hemorrhage or dementia.
What are the Functions of subcortical region of brain?
Cortical is a word referring to the cortex, so the subcortical region of the brain is literally 'anything beneath the cortex'; but, since the brain isn't arranged in flat layers, it may be easier to visualise this analogy: If you picture the brain as being half an orange, the outer skin (the zest) would equate to the grey matter of cerebral cortex, & the inner skin (the pith) to the white matter; everything else (the pulp & the pips of the orange) represents the subcortical structures, which include various ventricles & nuclei, the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, & the parts that make up the brainstem. Subcortical pathways enable fast, unconscious reactions; so a reflex is a subcortical action.
Is Cerebral amyloid angiopathy a hereditary disease?
No. The most common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage is high blood pressure (hypertension).
How many categories of cerebral hypoxia are there?
There are four categories of cerebral hypoxia; in order of severity they are: diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH), focal cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and global cerebral ischemia.
Where can articles be found on cerebral palsy?
Articles on cerebral palsy can be found at the website of an organization that is devoted to researching cerebral palsy. Some such organizations are United Cerebral Palsy and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
What part of speech is cerebral?
Cerebral is an adjective.
Can animals get cerebral palsy?
Yes cats can get the equivalent of Cerebral Palsy and it is called Cerebral Hypoplasia.
