Q

Treatmentt for alz

A

All crap.
Drug, increase acetylcholine neurotransmitter.
Vitamin e, no effect. Trials, drugs to slow if anything.
Even a vaccine, worked with mice, but causese hydrocephalus.

No dif between drug and placebo, in number entering institutional care. Mental state score, no dif. For drug. Increasing acetylcholine does improve performance, but not in alz.

Caveats about the brain.

A

Brain all important. Well..

  1. Hydrocephalics
    Fluid brain, reduce brain size, in past. Lorbord study,

Guy with small brain was getting a masters.
Do well with little cortical tissue. Brain so split, well one area can do everything, how about localization, maybe it’s rubbish,

Sara, inter cerebral hemmorage. Breathing swallowing. Area.
Women, medically induced coma. Cool body, no effect on brain.
Flat EEG, she had, way to see if dead.

More than sedative effect, changes thought and reduce social problems,

Issue of drug, lewd to deinstitutionalization.

Effects:
decrease positive symptoms like hallucinations.
Extrapyramidical symptoms, lack of dopamine, produced.
—->
Amphetamine psychosis
Look paranoid scz, but take amphetamines —> psychoses.
So giving it, leads to people get worse! Shows muck around with dopamine,

But, reLly you are manipulating, emotionality, not sure.

Another study flips results in water.

Imp. Cannot be sure what something is being measured.
Consequences not controlled for.
Silver foxes, (PLEINTROPY), lots of changes morphology due to domestication
INTERACTIONS are therefore imp to consider., bar harbor, ex. More and least aggressive strain, both right, handling different. –>different behaviour. Interactions imp. In ab PSYC.
Salt sensitive diet rats, die
Conflict stress, high blood pressure died, even with no salt.
**Suggests vulnerable for one thing, leads to interaction. Whereby vulnerable to another thing. **
Human ex. Children with violent non violent parent, interaction–> criminal history

Toxic effects

A

.

Background
Study biochemistry for metabolic effects,
Toxic substances, like fugu, puffer fish, deth like fish (tetrodotoxin). Drugs like LSD,

Water intoxication!
Too much anything lead to supression of something, lol. Pharmacology is poison of something.

Dopamine 80% of brains care choline, produced in two places.
One towards frontal and other towards Limbic. For schiz too much Limbic, not enough in frontal. Differential tracts, not accounted for by many drugs.

At least 5 types of dopamine receptors.

Synthesis, storage, release, reuptake, synapse cycle

59
Q

Steady state tests

A

Biochemical products,
Alcohol, liver metabolites.

Problem is get far away from brain, when looking at blood and urine,
Spinal fluid, hair,

64
Q

Genes patterns, psychiatric disorders.

A

Prenatal over expression of genes lead to onset of psychiatric disorders.

Association up regulation of some genes, that are considered to be developmental in etiology.

Hurt zygote , teratogens, –> scz! Staged, critical stages for exposure to result in issue.

Asd, scz, bio, amongst others.

For neuro, Intel ads, significantly higher gene expression. Over expressed genes.
Significant under expression for neuro degenerative disorders.

Up regulation for others,

Close to sig. For scz.

Functional effects, genes for neuro generation,
Intellectual disability,

Co expression, gene interaction, nfkb.

Secondary analysis, non sig, scz maybe. Gene set no show, individual do show.

Mdd, asd intel, prenTal over expression.
Scz, specific do. Genes

Postmortem subjects, limited brain region. Alternative gene expressions naturally happen limitation

65
Q

The polygraph q

A

Ans (autonomic nervous system) use in assessing behaviour
Pay attention to false positives

Truth is we all lie, not good at detecting, hit rate of 54%
With training, best at lie detection using facial expressions (best are secret service)
Abused children and left hemisphere strokes (language affected) are good at it too though. Pay attention to small changes.
Blush of deception after lying, eyes change!

Brain image changes assess lying, also light up when making decisions. So do not cut it.

Q

Adoption studies

A

Involve cross fostering.
Parents with disorder, kid adopted, without alc or with

Parents raised wo dis, raised with or without.

Cason male alcoholic, 49x increased risk.

Without dis, 4-0increased risk, not a q about enviro. Opposite effect for women,

Pwd pwd, have it in both cases.
Pwod, pwd, ok,

Adopted individuals more at risk of mental disorders,
Also true for criminality,

So alcoholism, linked to males, not females.

Romania ex.

72
Q

Stress and the brain

A

Hypo hormone sets in motion bunch of sympathetic nervous system. Lead to cortisol release. Effects Limbic structures

Cortisol has negative impact on oarts of the brain, more you are damaging the brain,
Ex. Days depressed in volume of hippo. Decreases. Damage it, lead to vicious circle where you are more sensitive.
Limbic system includes hippocampus.

Stress defeats ability to beat stress, damaging parts that help.

Adverse life effects.

Race ethnicity issues.

Much info due to other things than protein gene.

Moab has potential
But other ones did not, for like depression and seratonin.
Dopamine, alcohol one ok too. Maybe.

Gwis new ideal, pleitology, phantom genetics, epi genetics, missing parts. All need consideration.

Q

Reading on need for shift from behavioural symptoms diagnosis to neurobiological

A

Note issue of false positive,
Remedie,d by non pharmacological approaches like video games good anyways,
Predictive or preemptive, greate,r outcomes, comparison to chd. Also adolescamts gene,tic ally predisposed need the help. Mental disorders and substance abuse account for most deaths at young ages around world

77
Q

Dementia

A

250k to 300k
By 2030 750k to 1milliom

By the any more people alive today than have died in all of history.

Driver guy through window did not know!

78
Q

Family studies, Huntington disease study methods

A

Want to know side 50% fall on. Scz women, arts student

All cases traced to men came from England 1630. Large number families Venezuela 100 ppl 2000 kis at risk.

Linkage analysis, chromosome 4
Autosomal dominant,
Gene cloned
Proteins involved on gene,

Repeated copies of glutamine, over expression gene, almost twice as much.
Decreased brain neurotrophic factor, too many copies of these genes. Oxidative stress, neurotoxic.
50% heritability

Genetic testing,
Ethics, kill them selfs slightest of symptoms, risk do not get tested.
Suicide 25%
Many do not get tested.

79
Q

Interactions and TYPOLOGY

A

Interactions mentioned in previous card.

Typology,
Ex. Of I,balance of humors,
Carl young intro extro.

SHELDON
Body type reflectin of ones genes, controlled behaviour
Endomorphic, ec tomographic, mesomorphic,
Fat, skinny big nerves, muscular

Viscer, cerebretivr, somatotonic
Found high r between two.

This all shows a lot of self fulfilling prophecy, what we look like controls enviro Nd controls us. That’s what it means. And that’s also what genes do.

Children study,
Reactors are ones at risk of disorders,
Non reactors, lead to other disorders. Anti social

Twin pairs, genic effect

Q

Dopamine and ADHD and drug abuseq

A

May actually exist in children and adults.

Dsm 3 types, inattention or hyperactivity or combined.
Very subjective definitions, great variability and little reliability.
But do asked to be diagnosed in two different settings.

More males than females, most get pharmacological treatment. Increase as kids get older. Large pop.
Misdiagnosis and com orbidity, mdd, anxiety, learning disability and anx.

Long term? Not good. All aspects of living do worse.

Evidence for dopamine?
Stimulants, rivaling adiral etc. used with these kids. 80% effective! recently though shows it is not long lasting!
Brain imaging, reduced dopamine.

Suggests, dopamine is removed too quickly genetic allele.

Series possibilities, produce problem of dopamine in frontal lobes.

Iq goes up, interacts with genetic variable, drd4 allele —> externalizimg behaviour.

DRUG ABUSE

crushed Ritalin could be abused.
D1 D5 antagonist reduce cocaine a use, alcohol. Remeber study.
Deplete precursors works too…
Self administration links to Limbic system, approach behaviour!

Dopamine agonists, decreases inhibition, sort of, likely to self administer drug.

Cocethyline, ***
More of a buzz

Shows how drugs effect us, in combination, create problems lead to other issues. Sought out dopmine activation. Co one and wine.

INERT SUBSTANCE WILL LEAD TO RELEASE OF DOPAMINE
So just showing the tools or other condition effect stuff, release dopamine. Wow.

81
Q

Task, structured rigid

Type of test

A

Objective

82
Q

National human genome research institute

A

Diabetes, chd, lung cancer melanoma, colorectal cancer osteoporosis,

Mastectomy prevent breat cancer.

Data weak for most of these disorders.

Ex. Diabetes, only found 18 out of 2.2 million show disease, only explain 6% of diseSe.

83
Q

Glutamine in scz

A

It is higher, as is glutamine to glutamate ratio.
Choline too.
Shows drugs may not help the over release of glutamate. Leads to more glutamine to metabolize glutamate.

84
Q

The brain and abnormal behaviour

A

CNS

ans

James Lang theory of emotion:
We feel emotion because of our body’s reaction. Due to ans
Discounted, but panic —> feedback loop.
Physiologic symptoms interpreted in a y to get a feedback loop.

Depends on physicL interpretation of sit,

85
Q

Polygraphs

A

Ans autonomic nervous system response, reliant
Sympathetic fight flight reaction.
Rice, knife ex. In past.

Guilty knowledge test
You know things only you would know.
Color blouse, 5 options.
Relevant, irrevant. Benign, non benign, see spike.

86
Q

Study methods genes, family pedigree

A

Family studies
Pedigree no gold standard, similar for too many families.

Only case for gold standard.
Huntington disease.

87
Q

Dolly sheep genetics

A

Cloned from cell of mammary gland.
Dolly patten reference.
Half lifespan of sheep.

88
Q

Mental disorders in child hood

A

Neuro developmental disorders,
Not really behavioural.

ADHD, asd, psychosis
Need early intervention

Pro drone? Before disorder manifests.

89
Q

Popular tts used by psychologists

A

Mm pi personality test.
Worshak test with abstract pictures.

Many of them are projective tests.
Others or objective.

90
Q

Childhood maltreatment articel

A

Physical and emotional neglect.

Maltreatment greater effect than substance abuse,
But no increased volume in brain regions. Decreases grey matter.

Maltrpreatment shorter tim to lapse.
Severity makes it worse.

Predisposed to mental disorde if maltreated. Altered learning mechanisms, como rid substance abuse

91
Q

Do something physical to the patient, assess reaction response

A

Challenge test,
Like lie detect,
DexMethasone depression test
Less cortisol, but only 60-70% severe depressed show it
Not specific, other patients also show it, like OCD

Alcohol challenge

92
Q

Iq pariah

A

Cognitive ability
40-80% heritable.
Can be measured.

93
Q

Cortex, frontal lobe

A

Executive functioning. Planning

Skull bony ridges, problem concussion, head back and forth walls cranium,

Hard knocks, nfl, more memory problems.
Soccer players and memory and planning less, heading issue, will be wearing helmets in five yrs says pihl.

All leadss to more depression.

94
Q

The oxytocin story

A

The love hormone, well. Sort of.
Prairie vole. Monogamous.
Level of oxytocin differs. From mountain vole, reduced oxytocin.

Social interaction
pair bonding.
Anti stress
Health promotion. Hmmm

Ex.
Better bond with natural birth, higher oxy helps.
Knock out studies mice, social pair bonding differs, relat aggression scores.

Women, periods distress, need to bond further demonstrated change in oxytocin, hormone level.

Increase seratonin without drugs by?
Think positively
Light (SAD) sun lights
Exercise to fatigue
Faces too I guess in the morning! 
Tryptophan from us though, skip turkey lol
95
Q

What is fragile X

A

most frequent form of inherited disorder, does not follow strict Mendelian rules, many carriers w/o symptoms, symptoms vary from mild to extreme (learning disabilities to mental disabilities like retardation)
Leading inherited cause of autism, physical abnormalities
Abnormal arms of chromosome.

MAL ESmore at risk than females, because males only have one copy of X chromosome,
In subsequent generation more likely to appear, in future gen, and more severe. -This is Called ANTICIPATION
More than 55 copies, means likely to have the abnormality,

Effects neural dev, accounts physical and mental varia.
Differ in brain GREY and WHITE matter

96
Q

Scz and the brain

A

Eye tracking, many show, 45% in relatives, in frontal lob and involves dopamine,
En

Depress do poor where right hemi involved.
Scz do poorly where left hemisphere info led.
Suggests temporal prob.

Models
Cognitive thoughts, impairs abstraction, hypo frontally. Misatributionnprocedure. Higher order abstraction problem. Don’t get jokes.

Neurobiology, loses importance of context. Working memory issue.

Psychobiological. Thalami filtering, too much info. Stuff not filtered.
Smaller straight shoot.

Cognitive dysmetria
Mis connection of areas, blending of above ideas.

Neuro developmental disorder. Looking at risk factors. Genetics play a role. Fathers age, prenatal viral infection, nutrion birthing illness postnatal

97
Q

Synapse, synthesis

A

Stored, broken, taken up, 5 part step to function of synapses.

98
Q

Down syndrome viewed as non heritable die to view from

A

Old eggs, passed on from grandmother, does not make it genetic.
Same thing in faThers
Scz, ads, bio, all related to fathers

All related to gamete production.

Old eggs and sperm not good, to many train locations possible

99
Q

Common view en iron mental cues turn on genes no l

A

Light switch view, not quite,
Intensity and frequency are determined.

Kids different ses levels, study. No difference between groups,
Look at age 2, gigantic genetic effect for high ses, enviro has greater effect on genes having effect on cog dev.
Two dif capabilities in populations.

1% absorbed gains of 95% of last recession?
