Fatigue is a common symptom of neurological diseases that affect basal ganglia function. We used proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( H MRS) to study the metabolic functions of the basal ganglia in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) to test the hypothesis that fatigue in CFS may have a neurogenic component. H MRS of left basal ganglia was carried out in eight non-psychiatric patients with CFS and their results were compared to age- and sex-matched healthy asymptomatic healthy controls. A highly significant increase in the spectra from choline-containing compounds was seen in the CFS patient group ( < 0.001). In the absence of regional structural or inflammatory pathology, increased choline resonance in CFS may be an indicator of higher cell membrane turnover due to gliosis or altered intramembrane signalling.

Extractions: Staff Information Resource ... Other Sites Research Programmes The aim of the Division is excellence in basic and applied neuroscience research. A key objective is to understand more fully the functioning of the CNS and related structures in physiological and pathological states and so develop improved therapies for the treatment of neuronal diseases. To this end, four research programmes have been established which encompass existing strengths in the Division, encourage collaboration between staff and focus future developments. The research in each programme is multidisciplinary, incorporates techniques at the molecular, cellular and tissue level and involves studies in vivo in humans and animals. Movement and its Disorders Other Related Research 1. Movement and its Disorders This programme is aimed at understanding the basic mechanisms of the mammalian neuromuscular system, and the disorders to which it is prone, in order to devise new methods of prevention and treatment.

Extractions: LEFT BASAL GANGLIA LACUNE. View image This form of infarct involves small arterioles. In the acute phases of a lacunar infarct, the CT scan may be normal. As the infarct develops it becomes progressively lower in attenuation indicating its chronicity. Due to the dense concentration of neurons in the basal ganglia, a small lacunar infarct may have a dramatic clinical picture. The role of a CT scan in the initial phases of an infarct is essentially to rule out the presence of hemorrhage so that the patient can be anticoagulated. The presence of a very large hemispheric infarct may also preclude the possibility of anticoagulation. Such infarcts may sometimes be noted on the initial CT scan examinations. VENTRICULO-SULCAL PROMINENCE OF AGE. View second image Otherwise known as atrophy. Progressive loss of neurons within the central nervous system with age results in prominence of the ventricles as well as the cisterns when compared with normal age individuals. This does not correspond to the degree of cognitive function. However, the finding of ventriculo-sulcal prominence which is out of proportion to that of the patient's age should raise the suspicion of pathologic processes such as demyelinating diseases, the vasculitidies or chronic cerebro-vascular disease. The small arrow heads point to the sulcal prominence. The large arrows point to the prominent, frontal, temporal horns, the lateral ventricle as well as the prominent fourth ventricle in this order.

MeSH Hierarchy English French German Spanish Portuguese MeSH Broader term(s) Diseases Parkinson Disease, Secondary MeSH definition Conditions which feature clinical manifestations resembling primary Parkinson disease that are caused by a known or suspected condition. Examples include parkinsonism caused by vascular injury, drugs, trauma, toxin exposure, neoplasms, infections and degenerative or hereditary conditions. Clinical features may include bradykinesia, rigidity, parkinsonian gait, and masked facies. In general, tremor is less prominent in secondary parkinsonism than in the primary form.
