  2. Athetosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athetosis

    Pseudoathetosis is a movement disorder, very similar to athetosis, in which the symptoms are not differentiable from those of actual athetosis, however the underlying cause is different. While actual athetosis is caused by damage to the brain, specifically in the basal ganglia, [4] pseudoathetosis is caused by the loss of proprioception. [17]

  3. Childhood dementia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_dementia

    In other childhood dementia disorders, early development may be slower than typical before declining. [12] This progressive decline causes difficulty concentrating, memory loss, confusion, and learning difficulties, [4] in addition to the loss of developmental skills acquired previously, such as: walking, talking, writing, reading, and playing.

  4. Sensory loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_loss

    Dual sensory loss is the simultaneous loss of two senses. Research has shown that 6% of non-institutionalized older adults had a dual sensory impairment, and 70% of severely visually impaired older adults additionally suffered from significant hearing loss. [7] Vision and hearing loss both interfere with the interpretation and comprehension of ...

  5. Dissociated sensory loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociated_sensory_loss

    Dissociated sensory loss is a pattern of neurological damage caused by a lesion to a single tract in the spinal cord which involves preservation of fine touch and proprioception with selective loss of pain and temperature. Understanding the mechanisms behind these selective lesions requires a brief discussion of the anatomy involved.

    Causes vary between the different types of disorders but most include damage to the memory portions of the brain. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Treatments depend on how the disorder is caused. Medication and therapies are the most common treatments; however, for some types of disorders such as certain types of amnesia , treatments can suppress the symptoms ...

  7. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    The exact cause of SPD is not known. [22] However, it is known that the midbrain and brainstem regions of the central nervous system are early centers in the processing pathway for multisensory integration ; these brain regions are involved in processes including coordination, attention, arousal, and autonomic function . [ 23 ]

  8. A link between these types of drugs and cognitive impairment isn't a totally new discovery, but for the first time, researchers used brain imaging techniques to determine the physical changes ...

  9. Ataxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataxia

    Ataxia (from Greek α- [a negative prefix] + -τάξις [order] = "lack of order") is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that can include gait abnormality, speech changes, and abnormalities in eye movements, that indicates dysfunction of parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum.
