Cerebellum = 'little brain'; by weight is only 10% of the total brain and yet it contains more than half of all the neurons in the brain. 2. Highly regular, almost crystalline organization. 3. Cerebellar functions: The cerebellum acts as a 'comparator'; i.e., a device that compensates for errors by comparing intention with performance. The cerebellum is said to compare the central commands for movement with the actual movements themselves. Three features are important to keep in mind: a. The cerebellum receives information from brain sites that are involved in the planning of movements and commands for movements: corollary discharge b. The cerebellum receives information about motor performance; i.e., the results of the movement command, through sensory feedback arising in the periphery during the course of movement: reafference. The cerebellum is then in a position to compare the corollary discharge with reafference (the sensory feedback associated with the movement); if there is a mismatch, corrections may be made.

Extractions: Machado-Joseph Disease Definition: A dominantly-inherited ataxia first described in people of Azorean and Portuguese descent, and subsequently identified in Brazil, Japan, China, and Australia. This disorder is classified as one of the SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIAS (Type 3) and has been associated with a mutation of the MJD1 gene on chromosome 14. Clinical features include progressive ataxia, dysarthria, postural instability, nystagmus, eyelid retraction, and facial fasciculations. Dystonia is prominent in younger patients (referred to as Type I Machado-Joseph Disease). Type II features ataxia and ocular signs; Type III features muscle atrophy and a sensorimotor neuropathy; and Type IV features extrapyramidal signs combined with a sensorimotor neuropathy.

Extractions: What is Friedreich's ataxia? Friedrich's ataxia (FA) is a very rare neurological genetic disorder, that affects speech, balance and coordination. In some respects it is similar to multiple sclerosis. It is an inherited genetic disease in which a person is born with. Most people who have Friedreich's Ataxia, eventually need support to walk, like a scooter, walker or wheelchair. Although, not deemed terminal, it is progressive and as a result, complications can occur to the respiratory systems, (heart and lungs ect.) Friedreich's ataxia was the first form of hereditary ataxia to be distinguished from other forms of ataxia. It is named after the German doctor, Nikolaus Friedreich, who first described it in 1863. Presently there is no known cure, but please don't fret or become discouraged, because with the advancement of all the recent genetic discoveries and research, there is great deal of hope indeed!

Extractions: Does any one know where one could go to get help for the above subject? My father has had this for 10 years now, and it is getting worst. The main problem is that he is having problems walking and keeping his balance. Docyors her in Canada have diagnosed him withthe familiar cerebellum degeneration disease and claim that not enough is know about the disease to treat it. As I know that there are ohters who have this, I am wondering if any one is aware of any treatment for this. There are a variety of cerebellar degenerative diseases which run in families. The common symptom produced by damage to the cerebellum (of whatever cause) is ataxia, that is, incoordination. Ataxia can affect gait, causing people to walk like they're drunk (alcohol affects the cerebellum, so that's actually why you walk like that if you drink too much). Ataxia can also affect limb function, so that use of the hands is incoordinated. Familial cerebellar system degenerative diseases can be inherited in dominant or recessive patterns, depending on the specific disease. Dominant is when you have it, a parent has it, and a grandparent has it, as well as assorted brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Recessive is when two siblings have it but no one else in the family has it.

Extractions: Resource Library Movement Disorders Resource Library Campus Store Multimedia Center Parkinson's Disease Differential Diagnosis There are a number of factors useful in separating an atypical form of parkinsonism from idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Patients with early-onset or rapidly progressive dementia coupled with parkinsonian features are more likely to have diffuse Lewy body disease (also called Lewy body dementia) or Alzheimer's disease. In addition, a history of a rapidly progressive course should trigger the clinician to look for other parkinsonian syndromes. The presence of supranuclear gaze palsy, especially a downgaze palsy, suggests progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a parkinsonism-plus syndrome. Evidence of upper motor neuron involvement, such as Babinski's sign and pathological hyperreflexia, suggests corticospinal pathway involvement. Patients exhibiting cerebellar signs such as dysmetria, ataxia, nystagmus, titubation, or gait ataxia need to be evaluated further for cerebellar diseases. Patients with early onset of urinary incontinence should be evaluated for normal pressure hydrocephalus or other possible symptomatic or secondary causes of parkinsonism.

Extractions: Various anatomic brain abnormalities have been reported for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with varying methods, small samples, cross-sectional designs, and without accounting for stimulant drug exposure. The objective of this study was to compare regional brain volumes at initial scan and their change over time in medicated and previously unmedicated male and female patients with ADHD and healthy controls. The researchers concluded that Developmental trajectories for all structures, except caudate, remain roughly parallel for patients and controls during childhood and adolescence, suggesting that genetic and/or early environmental influences on brain development in ADHD are fixed, nonprogressive, and unrelated to stimulant treatment.

A growing body of research conducted during the last decade supports the notion that the cerebellum also plays a role in cognition, emotion, and other non-motor symptoms. Now, a new study shows that most patients with movement disorders caused by damage to the cerebellum also have psychiatric symptoms. The study suggests that patients with cerebellar diseases may benefit from screening and treatment of psychiatric symptoms.
