General Discussion
Corticobasal degeneration is a rare progressive neurological disorder characterized by cell loss and shrinkage (atrophy) in certain areas of the brain (cerebral cortex and substantia nigra). Affected individuals may have sufficient muscle power for manual tasks but often have difficulty directing their movements appropriately. Initial symptoms typically appear in people during the sixth decade, and may include poor coordination, difficulty accomplishing goal-directed tasks (e.g., buttoning a shirt), and/or difficulty pantomiming actions. Symptoms usually begin on one side of the body (unilateral), but both sides may be affected as the disease progresses. Cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss) and/or visual-spatial impairments may also occur. The exact cause of corticobasal degeneration is unknown.

Parkinson's Disease with Additional Symptoms
'Parkinson's Plus' is a name given to a group of disorders with parkinsonian symptoms, but with additional features. While the clinical symptoms of these disorders overlap with Parkinson's disease, the underlying neuropathology is often different and individuals may require alternate treatments. We've tried to provide an informative passage on each of these disorders, but for further information, please see our links for other sources.
Dementia with Lewy Bodies
Cortical Lewy bodies of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are noticeably smaller and different in appearance, both with a standard H+E stain, and with an anti-synuclein staining (see figure). Prior to the identification of Lewy bodies in demented patients, the 50% (approx.) of dementia cases not attributable to pure Alzheimer's disease were assumed the result of vascular dementia. The discovery of Lewy bodies in the brains of demented patients by Kosaka and coleagues (1984) prompted a variety of new diagnoses i.e. dementia with Lewy bodies, diffuse Lewy body disease, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease and others. More recently, the umbrella term 'Dementia with Lewy bodies' has been used - distinctions between different Lewy dementias were probably due to the variable bias between research groups. As a result, today's DLB is probably the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. In DLB, patients usually initially develop Alzheimer's like dementia symptoms or parkinsonian signs and subsequently progress to symptoms of the other condition. McKeith and colleagues (1996) defined the features of possible or probable DLB diagnoses. These are (2 needed for a probable, 1 for a possible diagnosis):

Alzheimer's Disease
Senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type (SDAT), or Alzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming more common in developed nations as the population includes more and more older persons. There is no known cause for the disease. It is not known why some people present as early as 30 or 40 years of age with dementia while others do not present until their late 70's or 80's. Familial cases with a defined inheritance pattern account for only 5 to 10% of Alzheimer's disease. Familial cases tend to have an earlier age at onset. Genetic defects in familial cases have been identified on chromosomes 21, 19, 14, 12 and 1. The so-called "early onset" cases of AD in persons in their 30's, 40's, and 50's may have a genetic basis. Less than 1% of early onset AD cases are linked to a genetic defect on chromosome 21 (which may explain the appearance of Alzheimer's disease in persons with Down syndrome surviving to middle age) which affects amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in fibrillar aggregates of beta-amyloid that is toxic to neurons. About half of early onset AD cases are linked to mutations in the presenilin 1 gene on chromosome 14. A presenilin 2 gene has been discovered on chromosome 1, but this defect accounts for less than 1% of cases. The more typical "late onset" cases of AD occurring after age 60 may have underlying genetic defects. A genetic locus on chromosome 19 encodes for a cholesterol transporter called apolipoprotein E (apoE). The E4 variant of apoE, which increases deposition of fibrillar beta-amyloid, can be found in 40% of AD cases. However, the presence of apoE4 is neither necessary nor sufficient for development of AD, so testing for it is not warranted. A genetic locus on chromosome 12 that encodes for alpha-2-macroglobulin may be found in 30% of AD cases. Mutations in the tau gene which codes for

There is currently no strong evidence to suggest CBD is an inherited disease, and no other risk factors, such as toxins or infections, have been identified. Studies of brain tissue of individuals with CBD show certain characteristic cell changes. Similar, although not identical, changes are observed in two other neurodegenerative diseases, Pick's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. These changes, involving a brain protein called tau, have provided researchers some initial clues in their search for the causes of CBD.

    Movement Disorders Resource Library Corticobasal Degeneration Symptoms of Corticobasal Degeneration Symptoms of CBD usually begin after age 60. The initial symptoms of CBD are often stiffness, shakiness, jerkiness, slowness, and clumsiness, in either the upper or lower extremities. Other initial symptoms may include dysphasia (difficulty with speech generation), dysarthria (difficulty with articulation), difficulty controlling the muscles of the face and mouth, or walking and balance difficulties. Symptoms usually begin on one side of the body, and spread gradually to the other. Some patients (probably more than commonly recognized in the past) may have memory or behavioral problems as the earliest or presenting symptoms. CBD is a progressive disease, meaning the symptoms worsen over time. Over the course of one to several years, most people with CBD gradually worsen, with symptoms progressing to involve upper and lower extremities and other body regions. Symptoms of advanced CBD include:
    • parkinsonism (rigidity, slow movements, postural instability)

    The Movement Disorder Program
    The Movement Disorder Program is composed of Dr. Irene Litvan and staff. The Movement Disorder Program has three main goals: "patient care", "clinical research" and "education."
    Patient care
    The Movement disorders program is dedicated to providing the best diagnostic, therapeutic, palliative, and supportive care to patients with movement disorders, cognitive deficits, and neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on Parkinsons and Parkinsonian disorders. Patient care begins with an in-depth evaluation and consultation by Dr. Litvan, a movement disorders specialist of more than 15 years experience, and continues through treatment, therapies, and ongoing support. The main objective is on improving the quality of life for both patients and caregivers. In addition to diagnosis, therapeutic treatment, and ongoing support, patients may be able to participate in research, which will further our knowledge of these disorders and hopefully one day lead to either progression halting treatments or cures for people suffering from these disorders.
    Clinical research
    Clinical research is focused on discovering not only the causes and effects of, but also treatments and possible cures for a variety of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). Basal ganglia and frontal lobular function as they relate to these disorders are of particular interest.
