00:01 | Progress. This is lecture 16 of neuroscience and we will introduce major neurological |
|
|
00:10 | . Start thinking about it from um just the cellular work mechanisms, basic |
|
|
00:19 | uh of these disorders, but also of the clinical language, some of |
|
|
00:25 | clinical understanding. So we will talk the causes of these disorders. So |
|
|
00:31 | are certain terminologies that people use in care practitioners when they describe different |
|
|
00:40 | period. But in particular, in case, neurological disorders causes can be |
|
|
00:47 | , very broad number of causes. talk about epilepsy, talk about how |
|
|
00:55 | epilepsies and some seizures are cause of mutations. They a lot with |
|
|
01:04 | talk about how you can have epilepsy of chemical in insults and intoxicants. |
|
|
01:18 | and also have epilepsy and seizures that triggered by sound. So in many |
|
|
01:28 | , the causes of neurological disorders are but not all pauses and it is |
|
|
01:37 | also clear what is going to cause neurological disorder. So some things we |
|
|
01:46 | some things we don't, we understand things we don't understand prevalence is how |
|
|
01:52 | the disorder is. So is the of the disorder? How many people |
|
|
02:02 | 1000 or per million suffer from that . Is it a rare disorder? |
|
|
02:05 | it really common disorder? We will about some of the most common neurological |
|
|
02:11 | . There is pathophysiology. So, changes in anatomy, changes in cell |
|
|
02:20 | , cell numbers and there is physiology gets affected by the pathology. There |
|
|
02:28 | clinical manifestation of the disease which is . So, tremors. So for |
|
|
02:38 | disease, seizures is a symptom for , uh pain and and vomiting symptomology |
|
|
02:49 | migraines. Oh, multiple sclerosis. say again, pain spasms and you |
|
|
02:59 | say, well, pain and you'll also have another neurological disorders. |
|
|
03:03 | . So sometimes the symptoms are sometimes the mechanisms are overlapping but they |
|
|
03:10 | may have their own specific uh mechanisms target specific cells or channels within those |
|
|
03:19 | probably more than that. So you have multiple motor disorders, neurological |
|
|
03:25 | Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and others as therapies and medications is a very |
|
|
03:35 | word because the medication, when you about it is you think of a |
|
|
03:41 | , a tablet, something injected in blood vessel. You think of the |
|
|
03:50 | and most of the treatments are pharmacological . But there are a lot of |
|
|
03:58 | treatments that are non pharmacological and that's at the very uh end of this |
|
|
04:06 | , I'm gonna introduce this concept that chopra talks about that is called me |
|
|
04:18 | meta from meta dali from psychedelics. actuality. The term psychedelics means mind |
|
|
04:30 | . For me, coffee is mild . So when you think about |
|
|
04:35 | it's not that scary of a It just depends what substance you're referring |
|
|
04:40 | . Here. You're referring to a mind altering experience that we will have |
|
|
04:50 | effect that may change the pathology of disease. So we'll talk about |
|
|
04:55 | Again, diets, medications and pills not the only thing. In |
|
|
05:01 | when we talk about epilepsy, we talk about food, medical diet as |
|
|
05:07 | diet for the treatment of treatment, electrodes is a treatment in the |
|
|
05:17 | doing surgical resection, taking uh glioblastoma and taking epileptic. Focus out of |
|
|
05:24 | brain is a treatment, there's a wide array of treatments. Um and |
|
|
05:32 | always alternatives, there is always uh bed therapies, cryo therapies, herbal |
|
|
05:45 | , aromatherapy things that people don't necessarily can help you necessarily as much as |
|
|
05:58 | pill. But that is arguable. just depends on what kind of a |
|
|
06:05 | you are and how you approach the in general. You know, some |
|
|
06:09 | like to uh eat water burger and are vegan. So they have a |
|
|
06:18 | understanding of, of the world. for them, a water burger, |
|
|
06:23 | vegan person is an alternative food. for the water burger person, vegan |
|
|
06:30 | is really a part of them, know. So anyways, there's always |
|
|
06:38 | and with alternatives, I think that's most interesting thing because this is for |
|
|
06:42 | emergent techniques. Emergent treatments are coming is with alternatives with somebody inventing something |
|
|
06:55 | . So when we talk about neurological , there's also this thing of burden |
|
|
06:59 | neurological disorders. What's the burden of disease in the United States alone? |
|
|
07:11 | is AAA study From 90 90 to . So 47 years and almost 30 |
|
|
07:20 | , 100 million Americans were affected by least one of the more than 1000 |
|
|
07:30 | . This translates out there are some and there are some syndromes. Some |
|
|
07:35 | you have taken my undergraduate courses and the talk by Doctor Robert Chad and |
|
|
07:43 | a neurologist and he talked about a of syndromes and he even said that |
|
|
07:51 | you tell this, like the cop delusion, no, not the phantom |
|
|
07:55 | limb is pretty common actually with the crass delusion. If you tell this |
|
|
08:00 | a lot of neurologists may have not heard. So a lot of |
|
|
08:05 | 1000 diseases we may not have heard neuroscientists and neurologists about a lot of |
|
|
08:13 | . And a lot of times you a specialty as a neuroscientist and |
|
|
08:18 | You don't treat people with epilepsy and and Parkinson's disease and nema. You |
|
|
08:27 | have a specialty. Uh so many . This translates the cost of 765 |
|
|
08:39 | for the more probable conditions including Alzheimer's . A big drain, dementia, |
|
|
08:46 | , low back pain. So, because you're talking about affecting the nerves |
|
|
08:53 | the back or in the neck migraine epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, |
|
|
08:59 | Parkinson's. So, of course, a lot of differences in, in |
|
|
09:07 | states and some regional differences. There's figure that actually describes that I believe |
|
|
09:13 | in this presentation. But some basic , Alzheimer's disease is an aggressive degenerative |
|
|
09:20 | of the brain characterized by dementia and fatal. So, Alzheimer's disease will |
|
|
09:27 | you. There's no cure for Alzheimer's . Treatments are very limited for Alzheimer's |
|
|
09:34 | and these are great actually, exam definitions, just basic definitions of neurological |
|
|
09:43 | , autism, a disorder emerging in childhood characterized by parents of communication and |
|
|
09:48 | interactions and restricted and repetitive behaviors. are descriptions, right? They're not |
|
|
09:54 | . It's not telling you that fragile which has uh you know a |
|
|
10:02 | So he is a description of cerebral motor disorder caused by damage to the |
|
|
10:08 | or pseudo parts to pressure the serious of food. So, mood disorders |
|
|
10:19 | also disorders from the system. Schizophrenia not a big food disorder that's uh |
|
|
10:27 | noted there, epilepsy condition characterized with disturbances of brain electrical activity that can |
|
|
10:35 | to seizures, loss of consciousness and disturbance and even death. So, |
|
|
10:44 | of patients with epilepsy, they don't to the pharmaceutical food medications and in |
|
|
10:54 | Epilepsies, about 20% of patients may . So it's it's it epilepsy can |
|
|
11:03 | lethal epilepsy is one of the conditions interesting that you can have epilepsy early |
|
|
11:10 | in your life. And you could get over epilepsy. Not have it |
|
|
11:17 | sclerosis disease that affects nerve conduction characterized episodes of weakness, lack of |
|
|
11:23 | speech to multiple sclerosis. That's a homos nervous system neurons, parkinson's progressive |
|
|
11:34 | of the brain that leads to difficulty initiating voluntary movements. So, it's |
|
|
11:39 | movement disorder, schizophrenia, psychotic illness delusions, hallucinations is our behavior. |
|
|
11:51 | A lot of people that you see the street that are homeless. A |
|
|
11:56 | of times that will also have mental . Um and psychosis, one of |
|
|
12:04 | paralysis, loss of feeling and the caused by traumatic damage to the spinal |
|
|
12:08 | . So that's car accidents, everything spinal cord injury and stroke and loss |
|
|
12:18 | brain function caused by destruction of the supply, usually leading to permanent sensory |
|
|
12:24 | and cognitive deaths. So these are major descriptions of the neurological disorders, |
|
|
12:34 | about with tall with a murder on . So, and what it does |
|
|
12:47 | a large and increasing number of people various neurological disorders in the US. |
|
|
12:51 | significant variations burden off the trends of disorders across the US states. The |
|
|
12:57 | for these geographic variations need to be further. Sometimes we know the |
|
|
13:03 | Sometimes you can have uh epilepsy that from encephalic encephalitis and there are certain |
|
|
13:14 | that will have ticks that carrying uh virus and when they bite you, |
|
|
13:21 | you can get encephalitis. So the ticks, other states don't have. |
|
|
13:27 | if you have a higher prevalence of in those states is not surprising. |
|
|
13:33 | in other instances, there is no explanation for why there is variation because |
|
|
13:37 | don't know always the causes of the . So these are temporal trends in |
|
|
13:46 | in the aggregate us wide age, disability adjusted life year daily rates. |
|
|
13:56 | kind of a interesting clinical term rates 100 100,000 persons per year for neurological |
|
|
14:04 | from the 19 nineties, 2017. Now Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord |
|
|
14:22 | Alzheimer's disease, there seems to be bump in the 90s and it's staying |
|
|
14:26 | the same, all spinal cord injuries down. The cancer is staying traumatic |
|
|
14:35 | injuries, went down and the is Parkinson's disease is going up, encephalitis |
|
|
14:43 | meningitis is going down. Why are things going down? Why do you |
|
|
14:49 | you have like Alzheimer's steady increase in increase in Parkinson's or something like |
|
|
14:57 | tetanus meningitis going down, vaccines, . But that's really recent. Even |
|
|
15:04 | that's really recent, that's 2000, not that far back. What uh |
|
|
15:13 | this plateau, that's uh indication of other trend. Yeah, I I |
|
|
15:24 | don't, it's, it's also a point that now the last like it |
|
|
15:28 | like 67 years down. So maybe caught up with the variances and that's |
|
|
15:35 | best that we can do with existing and preventions. People are in the |
|
|
15:41 | States, better vaccines, maybe better , maybe people not believing in vaccines |
|
|
15:49 | that never changes. You know, cousin had encephalitis three times. He |
|
|
15:56 | , so just goes to IC Who believes that? Well, I |
|
|
16:05 | , it's, uh, I, don't know if I can that but |
|
|
16:08 | also have to say that, I hope he's not watching this like |
|
|
16:13 | . But I have to say that sometimes what doesn't kill you makes you |
|
|
16:20 | . And there are some consequences from . And I'm not saying that vaccines |
|
|
16:29 | general, but not every vaccine is by pfizer or something. Yeah, |
|
|
16:38 | a human nature. It's a human and it can happen, it happens |
|
|
16:43 | it view across 2000 or 5000 You know, it could be |
|
|
16:49 | You know, There's a big debate emerging about COVID-19. um vaccines, |
|
|
16:56 | know, that, that the, , I guess it's not that the |
|
|
17:00 | is, is vaccines are healthy, the consequences of the vaccines is they're |
|
|
17:07 | to vascular diseases. That's what's really . It's from a and maybe it's |
|
|
17:13 | true and maybe this kind of a is like, you know, you're |
|
|
17:16 | about something that's not there, this VAERS, you know, put uh |
|
|
17:23 | the, into the Highline. But , it's very interesting to think about |
|
|
17:28 | things with some natural causes that causes vaccinations who will drive down some of |
|
|
17:33 | problems, other problems will stay the . So this, let's talk about |
|
|
17:37 | . This disability adjusted life year is measure of overall disease burden expresses a |
|
|
17:44 | number of years lost to due to health disability or early death. So |
|
|
17:54 | you're alive expected live years, let's what's life expected in the United |
|
|
18:03 | Some, some of I think. . Yeah. Uh so if you |
|
|
18:10 | these years, if you're living with that your disability is and years of |
|
|
18:19 | lost, so this is the life you could have had as a, |
|
|
18:23 | know, society member, maybe a society member, maybe as a fire |
|
|
18:28 | member. But this is the disability life here. Now this can get |
|
|
18:40 | too, this this and get So you actually have only adapt if |
|
|
18:47 | have more than one disabilities, they're morbidity. Lot of funds. So |
|
|
18:52 | you have, let's say Parkinson's disease struggle it or you have migraine central |
|
|
19:02 | disorder or epilepsy, so it shortens life span central and this is the |
|
|
19:10 | probably uh noncellular term you will see those parks. Yeah, these are |
|
|
19:25 | Disability Adjusted Life Year rates for 100,000 for neurological disorders in the United States |
|
|
19:31 | 2017. So were you seeing uh is all good? All right, |
|
|
19:43 | red is not good and we can kind of a, like a real |
|
|
19:49 | for certain geographical trend if you were about stroke. Welcome to, you |
|
|
19:56 | , southern cooking, the southern you know, Louisiana, Mississippi, |
|
|
20:03 | glo, Red Cleveland. Uh, also because of lack of primary |
|
|
20:12 | lack of primary care, lack of . Uh, yeah, Alzheimer's disease |
|
|
20:23 | other dementias. Well, it's kind interesting that, no, I wanna |
|
|
20:32 | to California. Yeah. Where It's this area here, most Southeast |
|
|
20:42 | area of Parkinson's disease. It's at least, you know, middle |
|
|
20:48 | northern states here. And, I think, let's see. It's |
|
|
20:57 | interesting. Oh, a bully is like Louisiana. This area has a |
|
|
21:05 | of epilepsy again. And metasol sclerosis here. Motor neurone disease, motor |
|
|
21:12 | , epilepsy. Parkinson's disease that seem be like, concentrated in the |
|
|
21:18 | Uh, the Wyoming areas people hate Texas a lot but it seems |
|
|
21:24 | Oh, no, not bad. bad. Yeah, not on |
|
|
21:30 | Oh, yeah, it is. , it seems like Montana should be |
|
|
21:32 | the Texas hit. They're pretty Yeah. I mean, yeah, |
|
|
21:38 | definitely have a lot of heart The stroke is like some good, |
|
|
21:46 | also because we have really good medical in Texas. So, you |
|
|
21:52 | there's a lot of good stroke major atropos in every city here, |
|
|
21:58 | here, especially here. Well, something like specialist in Houston or, |
|
|
22:06 | , there are only 10 others, the ultra specialized on this. |
|
|
22:16 | you're, um, it's the amount doctors that are available. How soon |
|
|
22:24 | you see them to, how close are located to you? Some of |
|
|
22:28 | specialist neurologist special is just like a specialist. You know, you don't |
|
|
22:32 | them like you're family doctor and if see them it will be again a |
|
|
22:42 | up in two or three months and you need to see somebody first time |
|
|
22:47 | probably will have to wait unless you're the hospital, you're gonna have to |
|
|
22:50 | to see that specialist. Like people um uh a and that would be |
|
|
23:08 | Um there, there is definitely a genetic components, couple of chromosomes, |
|
|
23:15 | of them is chromosome 18 and that affected by it. Um so, |
|
|
23:20 | some of the sort that have no but even still you may have a |
|
|
23:26 | that why did you develop the Uh the mutation and both all, |
|
|
23:34 | did you still develop disease? Um And some of those mutations, if |
|
|
23:43 | non genetically can be sporadic when it's , then we don't know why and |
|
|
23:50 | caused the, the, the, an additional mutation to occur or a |
|
|
23:56 | to a car in the first I'm looking at the maps that I |
|
|
24:01 | , like geographically sort of isolated area it probably we're seeing. Oh, |
|
|
24:20 | suggesting the inbreeding in that part of country uh in, in very crude |
|
|
24:28 | , but maybe you are somewhat correct suggest that maybe there are more closed |
|
|
24:35 | , uh, and not as urban culturally a little different. So, |
|
|
24:40 | , I mean, yeah, it's, it's, it's a, |
|
|
24:42 | a good thing. Yeah. It's good, uh, intellectual, |
|
|
24:47 | thinking about this meningitis again. Look meningitis and the Louisiana and that's where |
|
|
24:58 | lot of bugs are. So, cancers, you're looking again and, |
|
|
25:09 | it's kind of a broad, widely map. Uh but there are |
|
|
25:16 | So there are definitely geographical variations in geological disorders To remember different parts of |
|
|
25:23 | brain and the CB- one receptors that located in the brain. And I'm |
|
|
25:28 | this diagram just to remind you of parts of the brain that have different |
|
|
25:35 | . And you can have a different of the brain that is affected, |
|
|
25:41 | will result in neurological dysfunctions, motor that may affect basal ganglia. For |
|
|
25:50 | , because it's involved in motor Uh if you have cerebral cortex, |
|
|
25:57 | know the different parts of the cerebral are responsible for different areas. So |
|
|
26:00 | of the epilepsy and seizures a lot times would be associated with temporal |
|
|
26:08 | And again, where the disease if it has to do with the |
|
|
26:13 | dysfunction, for example, no, the brain stem, it's going to |
|
|
26:20 | uh certain pa pathways, certain uh of the brain communicating to each other |
|
|
26:27 | areas of the brain that are responsible , for different functions. So |
|
|
26:37 | although neurons are the longest living cells the body makes me feel good. |
|
|
26:43 | numbers of them die during migration and . The lives of some neurons can |
|
|
26:49 | abnormal turns. Some diseases of the are the result of a natural death |
|
|
26:54 | neurons. So again, let's look some of these diseases. Parkinson's disease |
|
|
27:01 | that produce neurons that dopamine died off basal Galia, an area of the |
|
|
27:07 | that controls body movement, this causes and initiated when you talk about dopamine |
|
|
27:17 | that are going into basal ganglia. dying in Huntington's disease. A genetic |
|
|
27:25 | causes overproduction of para transmitter called So if Parkinson's is do the contact |
|
|
27:36 | kills neurons, they don't get But it's the same area of the |
|
|
27:41 | as the fact that therefore, uh also a movement disorder with T and |
|
|
27:50 | a famous case of Hunter's disease as J Fox. Uh And if you |
|
|
28:01 | him, he displays a little suit the Alzheimer's disease, unusual build around |
|
|
28:10 | and neuro cortex and hippocampus. Now in hippocampus and Neocortex. Alzheimer's is |
|
|
28:17 | to control memory plasticity encoding so that a campus doesn't store memories, but |
|
|
28:24 | is responsible for encoding and recalling the memories. That's what happens with people |
|
|
28:31 | dementia is that they start forgetting stories, names, faces, they |
|
|
28:38 | to uh ask somebody their name quite . The person has to reintroduce |
|
|
28:45 | Short term memory goes first with Alzheimer's . Later to long term memory |
|
|
28:51 | Uh So when my grandmother, for , had Alzheimer's disease, my father |
|
|
28:57 | the closest person to her and she his name for the longest time and |
|
|
29:06 | who he was for the longest And at some point I would go |
|
|
29:11 | her and all she knew was my . So she would call me by |
|
|
29:16 | name and think, oh, that him. That was the longest, |
|
|
29:21 | longest long term memory that my grandmother and the closest uh human association that |
|
|
29:27 | had. And after that, uh was in the hospice after she forgot |
|
|
29:35 | my father is really, she was the hospital. So uh it's not |
|
|
29:40 | uh memory, you'll have physical damage different parts of the brain and nervous |
|
|
29:46 | , you'll have death in the neurons you'll basically die because your brain stops |
|
|
29:54 | care of the body. Imagine if plaques start broadly innovating that cortical area |
|
|
29:59 | responsible for sensory motor functions, the plaques will spread everywhere from these |
|
|
30:08 | areas. Brain stem that will start your breathing. Heart rate. People |
|
|
30:14 | swallow, they cannot feed themselves uh to the brain, traumatic brain |
|
|
30:22 | the damage caused by a stroke, build neurons outside or slowly starve them |
|
|
30:28 | the oxygen and nutrients they need to . So if you have a traumatic |
|
|
30:33 | injury, which would be uh penetrating injury and basically cut through the brain |
|
|
30:41 | and cut through the blood vessels and permanent damage to oxygen and nutrients. |
|
|
30:47 | the same can happen with a It's a rupture of blood vessel in |
|
|
30:52 | brain, spinal cord injury can disrupt between the brain and muscles. When |
|
|
30:59 | lose their connections to axons located below site of the injury. These neurons |
|
|
31:05 | still live but they lose the ability communicate. And one of the known |
|
|
31:16 | by which one of the known ways which cells die is what is called |
|
|
31:24 | toxicity. In this case, it's . It says glutamate that is being |
|
|
31:29 | . It overexcites neurons, there's too castle production and during the diseased neurons |
|
|
31:38 | through apoptosis or necrosis. These processes too much glut calcid can lead to |
|
|
31:47 | degeneration, neuronal cell death. So could basically just say that Huntington's is |
|
|
31:54 | disease of cito toxicity in a Yes. Uh with, with glutamate |
|
|
32:01 | . Yeah. Oh, the neurotransmitter . Yeah. So based on |
|
|
32:07 | you know, it's a collection of , bod nucleus, put a globe |
|
|
32:18 | pa and collectively these structures are called little gang. And they're very important |
|
|
32:26 | the brain systems to control movement. , amen. Well, it was |
|
|
32:36 | it so all complicated circuit in each of these nucleon function won't have much |
|
|
32:45 | to get into it. But um a it's a good uh way to |
|
|
32:53 | that basal ganglia is not just one but is a collection of structures. |
|
|
33:01 | have other structures, the mammal or of the hypothalamus and mix them up |
|
|
33:13 | to be important, you know, nucleus. So this is nucleus, |
|
|
33:26 | . Another view, this is corpus . It's the fiber bundle that inter |
|
|
33:31 | it to hemisphere. So the two can talk to each other. |
|
|
33:36 | you have white matter and you have matter. And these are the sort |
|
|
33:40 | the again, the tainment and gloss a substantial of NRA uh mammary |
|
|
33:51 | Oh So there is multiple areas in brain that the degenerate. Substantial. |
|
|
34:00 | is one of these areas that And by degenerating, it reduces or |
|
|
34:08 | the brain of a central the neurons diseased basal ganglia, commit suicide. |
|
|
34:18 | is really, really interesting box that read through because it's a lot of |
|
|
34:29 | information and I kind of just we it. So Several devastating neurological diseases |
|
|
34:37 | the slow progressive death of neurons. with Parkinson's disease have usually more |
|
|
34:42 | More than 80% of those have been neurons in their substantial. Remember that |
|
|
34:48 | means like stress the nucleon. And if you, you lose that |
|
|
34:52 | that small part of the brain, lose all of the A meme that |
|
|
34:57 | being generated there, which is In this case, 80 of those |
|
|
35:03 | are are dead. So what makes I grow vulnerable neurons of the |
|
|
35:14 | Oh, no. The cameras moving . I got, I got |
|
|
35:22 | So this and other regions slowly degenerate , and the so, so Huntington's |
|
|
35:32 | , the disease? Oh, wait second. Uh I just, |
|
|
35:38 | just give it a, this is hunting of disease. And you can |
|
|
35:43 | that this is normal, normal. . That's normal brain. And you |
|
|
35:53 | see a significant degeneration and loss of entertainment. And I think this |
|
|
36:06 | So in figure a we have Parkinson's and this is substantial Nigra right |
|
|
36:15 | This is a a uh uh uh don't know if it's been stained or |
|
|
36:20 | oxidized, exposed by oxidation. But is the area of the substantial Igra |
|
|
36:26 | there's no more of the of the neurons that you can find all |
|
|
36:36 | So the symptoms might be similar. as far as you know, motor |
|
|
36:43 | , there might be some specifics that specific to the structure is different. |
|
|
36:50 | do these neurons die? Ironically, that natural forms of cell death are |
|
|
36:56 | . The process called program cell death apoptosis is essential for normal brain |
|
|
37:03 | So certain neurons commit suicide as part the program by which the nervous system |
|
|
37:08 | , all cells have cell, several genes that trigger set of enzymes that |
|
|
37:13 | cellular proteins. And DNA some forms cancer occur when normal programmed cell death |
|
|
37:20 | prevented and cells proliferate wildly. Some diseases may result when programmed cell death |
|
|
37:28 | unnaturally activated. I think this disease caused by a dominant gene. So |
|
|
37:35 | the cellular uh the molecular mechanisms of disorder, A gene that goes for |
|
|
37:43 | large brain protein called a normal molecule a chain of 10-34 glutamine at one |
|
|
37:52 | . one of these. So we that what it means. AT two |
|
|
38:02 | 3. So develop Huntington's disease, abnormal long hunting that aggregate lobs of |
|
|
38:10 | accumulate and trigger neuronal degeneration. So normally have 10-34 people with repeat or |
|
|
38:19 | than 40 glutamine develop hunt hunting this . So the normally long hunting tends |
|
|
38:29 | , trigger neuronal degeneration. Function of Huntington isn't known, but it may |
|
|
38:34 | counterbalanced and triggers some program of And Huntington's disease may arise from normal |
|
|
38:40 | of neuronal degeneration, gone or would the excess glutamine kind of be |
|
|
38:47 | the exit toxicity? I'm gonna Yeah, I somehow the expression of |
|
|
38:54 | the molecular underlying mechanism is these alligator chains, but it effects glutamate. |
|
|
39:09 | , but it affects, it but also we're talking about these particular |
|
|
39:16 | called a nucleus containment, basal Uh So based on the global fact |
|
|
39:25 | function of global is not all of brain is the specific areas of the |
|
|
39:32 | that are dying. So, Parkinson's is usually a disease of aging of |
|
|
39:38 | vast majority of cases occur after age 60. That means that Huntington's disease |
|
|
39:45 | occur early, um, in the majority of cases over 60. |
|
|
39:51 | in 1976 and again, in several relatively young drug abusers in |
|
|
39:57 | This is a very interesting story to from young drug abusers. Maryland and |
|
|
40:03 | developed severe Parkinsonian symptoms within a few . So they basically got the, |
|
|
40:11 | use of drug. The Noro is T P. Uh, this was |
|
|
40:19 | because usually symptoms accumulate over many So there is an early diagnosis of |
|
|
40:26 | disease. You know, you're looking that and it could be from the |
|
|
40:33 | you got diagnosed to the time you and maybe 2030 40 years, uh |
|
|
40:40 | know, depending on, on, the disease. So in this case |
|
|
40:45 | the severity of it, right. if you are diagnosed with Parkinson's |
|
|
40:50 | that means your symptoms are not as . And that means that if you |
|
|
40:55 | and there's no cure, the disease progress. The symptomology will get |
|
|
40:59 | the pain will get worse, the spasms will get worse. You |
|
|
41:03 | all of it will get worse. it takes years in this case a |
|
|
41:08 | days and these uh people developed Parkinson's . Medical detective work graveled because of |
|
|
41:16 | addicts infliction. Each had taken street of a product that contained the chem |
|
|
41:22 | MP T P. The incompetent base on chemists who had synthesized the illegal |
|
|
41:28 | , tried to shortcut the procedure, creating a chemical byproduct that kills dopamine |
|
|
41:35 | . M BT P has since helped understand Parkinson's disease better. We now |
|
|
41:41 | that M BT P is converted into brain to MP P plus, dopamine |
|
|
41:48 | cells are selectively vulnerable to it because membrane dopamine transporters is stake and V |
|
|
41:56 | plus or dopamine and they selectively accumulate chemical like a trojan horse inside the |
|
|
42:04 | once inside the cell and B P energy production and mitochondria and the neurons |
|
|
42:10 | die because their A T P is . So the fact that that B |
|
|
42:15 | supports the idea that common forms of disease might be caused by chronic exposure |
|
|
42:21 | slowly enacting toxic chemical in the Unfortunately, no one has identified such |
|
|
42:32 | toxic research has shown that M BT can induce a form of program so |
|
|
42:40 | a substantial library. So, isn't interesting? So illicit speed drive causes |
|
|
42:49 | investigation that there's a whole discovery of P and basically a mistake set for |
|
|
42:56 | neurotransmitter that loads it up and keeps in those neurons uh and upsets the |
|
|
43:04 | A T P and mitochondrial function and death. The neurons of Parkinson's spats |
|
|
43:10 | be generated for a similar reason. 5% of Parkinson's cases are added and |
|
|
43:16 | of several different genes are not known cause these rare types of the |
|
|
43:22 | One hypothesis is that Parkinsonian gene encodes that are misfolded, aggregate accumulated neurons |
|
|
43:31 | trigger or facilitate the death of the by understanding how and why neurons |
|
|
43:38 | You may eventually be able to devise of cellular suicide prevention that hold a |
|
|
43:45 | a variety of terrible neurological diseases. it's one of the ways to, |
|
|
43:51 | prevent neurological disorders in general is to after these all the suicide program. |
|
|
44:01 | that or degrading pathways stop dus from into the suicide mode or death |
|
|
44:16 | With the help for self help of disease. On the cellular level. |
|
|
44:26 | the outside, you have the amyloid on the inside, you have your |
|
|
44:31 | and on the growths on the This is a disease where you will |
|
|
44:36 | a loss of tissue across large swaths cortex of some part of area as |
|
|
44:45 | . This is more of the pathology the Alzheimer's disease. But in Alzheimer's |
|
|
44:50 | , you will also have neuro So a common theme. Look at |
|
|
44:55 | brain and severe Alzheimer's disease. Look the brain and severe Parkinson's and severe |
|
|
45:00 | disorders. There is a common theme . There's neuro degeneration, neurons don't |
|
|
45:07 | . So have your bone regrows after break in your cells form and |
|
|
45:12 | So brain structures kind of do that if we're outside that period of critical |
|
|
45:18 | of plasticity, critical period of development there's a lot of plasticity and recovery |
|
|
45:24 | different injuries. Ok? I wanted talk to you about the stimulation. |
|
|
45:32 | I think I started the select room and uh I don't wanna keep you |
|
|
45:38 | here today. But when we come , we're gonna talk about deep brain |
|
|
45:44 | and how it is being used to Parkinson's disease and other disorders. And |
|
|
45:49 | talk about vagus nerve stimulation. In , the company E Therapy, which |
|
|
45:55 | Vegas nerve stimulation therapy, uh is Texas based company and I believe they |
|
|
46:02 | located, it's not gonna use some or somewhere in between that has developed |
|
|
46:08 | , some of these electrodes that you that in that case, in their |
|
|
46:12 | , they implanting them by the neck to target the, the ba |
|
|
46:17 | Ok. But we'll talk about how would implant where you would implant. |
|
|
46:23 | , and why the brain stimulation as treatment for some severe, uh, |
|
|
46:31 | dysfunctions or? All right. yeah. I MD A yes. |
|
|
46:51 | , yeah. Uh, otherwise you have it implanted in the medical center |
|
|
46:58 | people's brains. It's a medical Yeah. Ok. Hard to |
|
|
47:06 | Right. But, uh, Elon is gonna get, it's so nice |
|
|
47:17 | , like, come up and, I get that. |
|
