Klazomania was proposed to be associated with long-term excessive use of alcohol and carbon monoxide poisoning in 1996. [3] Bates et al. reported on a 63-year-old who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital with a two-year history of sudden episodes of shouting. The man claimed to have no memory of the attacks, which he could anticipate by a few ...
Catathrenia or nocturnal groaning is a sleep-related breathing disorder, consisting of end-inspiratory apnea (breath holding) and expiratory groaning during sleep.It describes a rare condition characterized by monotonous, irregular groans while sleeping. [1]
[2] [3] Palilalic repetitions are often spoken with decreasing volume and speed up over time. [6] A 2007 case study by Van Borsel et al. examined the acoustic features in palilalia. [5] AB, a 60-year-old male was diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and had noticed changes in gait, posture, writing, and speech. [5]
Echolalia and echopraxia are distinguishing tics of Tourette syndrome (TS); [1] the echolalic repetitions of individuals with TS are mainly echoes from within their own "tic repertoire". [1] Evidence points to a healthy mirror neuron system (MNS), but "inadequate imitation-control mechanism, which make them vulnerable to interferences".
[4] Quite often, the swelling is present along with cystic lesions in the third ventricle or surrounding periventricular structures. In reference to bobble-head doll syndrome, a third ventricular cystic lesion causes an obstruction in the foramina of Monro , which communicates with the lateral ventricles, and the proximal, cerebral aqueduct of ...
Echopraxia is a typical symptom of Tourette syndrome but causes are not well elucidated. [1]Frontal lobe animation. One theoretical cause subject to ongoing debate surrounds the role of the mirror neuron system (MNS), a group of neurons in the inferior frontal gyrus (F5 region) of the brain that may influence imitative behaviors, [1] but no widely accepted neural or computational models have ...
A more recent study in Brazil had 44 patients with Tourette syndrome, and found a 14% rate of coprolalia; [23] a study in Costa Rica had 85 patients, and found that 20% had coprolalia; [24] a study in Chile had 70 patients, and found an 8.5% rate of coprolalia; [25] older studies in Japan reported a 4% incidence of coprolalia; [26] a 1996 ...
[4] The term is commonly used non-technically by English speakers to refer to sounds that subjectively appear harsh or grating. This definition usually includes a number of consonants that are not used in English, such as epiglottal [ ʜ ] and [ ʡ ] , uvular [χ] , [ ʁ ] and [ q ] , and velar fricatives [ x ] and [ ɣ ] .
