Added by Juan Antonio M.
Step 1
- Parkinson's disease is primarily characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain. - It is also associated with the presence of Lewy bodies, which are abnormal aggregates of protein within the neurons. - Abnormal Show more…

Question: What are the behavioral symptoms that lead to the diagnosis of the disorder? Although there is some overlap, choose the answer that best fits with each disorder. 1. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ____ 2. Parkinson's Disease ____ 3. Huntington's disease ____ 4. Not the best set of symptoms for any of the three disorders _____ Match any of the answers to the diseases shown above. A. Motor impairment (tremors - beginning in one hand, inability to walk normally - shuffling gait, difficulty initiating movement, rigidity in muscles, problems with coordination, slow body movements). B. Progressive muscle weakness (upper and lower motor neuron impairment), problems with coordination, stiff muscles, muscle spasms or overactive reflexes. C. Development of repetitive or ritualistic movements, postures, or utterances. They may be simple movements such as body rocking, or complex, such as self-caressing, crossing and uncrossing of legs, and marching in place. D. Alterations in mood (especially depression), amnesia, lack of concentration, memory loss, mental confusion, difficulty thinking/understanding, hyperkinetic involuntary motor effects (rapid, jerky motions with no clear purpose which may be confined to a finger or may involve a whole extremity, facial musculature, or even vocal apparatus). No weakness, ataxia, or deficit of sensory function.
