What symptoms can disruptions in portions of the basal ganglia cause?
Disruptions in other portions of the basal ganglia are thought to cause tics, tremors , dystonia, and a variety of other movement disorders
What is GDA in psychiatry?
GDA in psychiatry typically refers to Generalized Dystonia and Affective Disorders. It encompasses the relationship between movement disorders, such as dystonia, and various affective disorders, including depression and anxiety. This interplay highlights how neurological conditions can impact emotional well-being, prompting a multidisciplinary approach to treatment that addresses both motor and psychological symptoms. Understanding GDA is crucial for developing comprehensive care strategies for affected individuals.

What term describes a condition of abnormal muscle tone that causes that impairment of voluntary muscle movement?

What are movement disorders?
Movement disorders are a group of diseases and syndromes affecting the ability to produce and control movement
What is basal spasms?
Basal spasms refer to involuntary muscle contractions or movements that occur in the basal ganglia region of the brain. These spasms can result in various movement disorders, such as dystonia or chorea. Treatment may involve medications, botulinum toxin injections, or surgical interventions.
What would happen if the extra pyramidal system was damaged?
Damage to the extrapyramidal system can result in movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, or dyskinesias. Symptoms may include tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with motor control and coordination. Treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, deep brain stimulation.
What is Marsden Syndrome?
synonyms-Dystonia, familial, with visual failure and striatal lucencies, Leber optic atrophy and dystonia, LDYT Dystonia-a neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The disorder may be inherited or caused by other factors such as birth-related or other physical trauma, infection or reaction to drugs.
What is the purpose of deep brain stimulation?
Deep brain stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to help regulate abnormal brain activity and improve symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It can also be used to treat certain psychiatric disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. The purpose is to provide relief from symptoms that are not adequately controlled by medication alone.
What has the author Robert S P Jones written?
Robert S. P. Jones has written: 'Stereotyped movement disorders' -- subject(s): Mental Disorders, Psychomotor disorders, Stereotyped Behavior, Stereotypic movement disorder, Therapy
What conditions are treated by deep brain stimulation?
Other surgical alternatives for Parkinson's disease include pallidotomy and thalamotomy.DBS for dystonia is the only really promising neurosurgical treatment for this condition. Some peripheral surgeries may be appropriate for selected patients.
