    Extractions: Media Contact: Mindy Baxter melinda.baxter@email.swmed.edu BRAIN CELL DAMAGE UNDERLYING GULF WAR SYNDROME CAUSES ABNORMAL BRAIN DOPAMINE PRODUCTION, STUDY SHOWS DALLAS – Sept. 14, 2000 – In a study released today, researchers say they have found a strong link between brain cell loss on the left side of the brain in sick Gulf War veterans and abnormal over-production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter chemical important in such conditions as degenerative brain diseases. The UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas study, published in the American Medical Association’s Archives of Neurology , links brain cell loss in the left basal ganglia of sick Gulf War veterans with out-of-control production of a brain neurotransmitter chemical called dopamine. With fewer total brain cells, the remaining dopamine-producing cells become over-responsive and produce too much dopamine. “This finding gives increased importance to our earlier brain scan evidence of brain damage in these veterans," said Dr. Robert Haley, professor of internal medicine and holder of the U.S. Armed Forces Veterans Distinguished Chair for Medical Research, Honoring America’s Gulf War Veterans. “Showing that the degree of brain cell injury directly affects the level of brain dopamine production indicates that the brain damage is having a real effect on these veterans’ brain function and is not just a coincidental finding.” In the June issue of Radiology , UT Southwestern researchers reported that sick Gulf War veterans had 9 percent fewer brain cells in the left basal ganglia than healthy veterans. Previous research has shown that brain damage in the left basal ganglia causes a dramatic increase in dopamine production, while brain damage in the right basal ganglia has less effect.

    Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Disorders of the basal ganglia and the extrapyramidal system are manifested by involuntary movements that characteristically disappears in sleep. Two types of movements are associated with basal ganglia: 1) Hyperkinetic, characterized by excessive involuntary movements such as seen in chorea, athetosis, ballism, dystonia, and motor tics. 2) Hypokinetic (bradykinetic), characterized by paucity of movement, or by difficulty in initiation of movement (akinesia) as seen in Parkinson's disease. Chorea This hyperkinetic disorder is characterized by involuntary, sudden, frequent, and purposeless jerks of the extremities, head, and trunk associated with facial grimaces. The term is derived from the Greek word for "dance." The pathology in the brain is diffuse and includes the caudate nucleus ( Figure 9 ). Two clinical varieties of chorea are recognized: a benign reversible variety (Sydenham's chorea) that occurs in children as a complication of rheumatic fever, and a malignant hereditary variety (Huntington's chorea) transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, linked to chromosome 4, and characterized with progressive mental and cognitive deterioration. Choreic patients are often unable to sustain a hand grip (milkmaid's grip) or a protruded tongue (trombone tongue).

Familial Fahr's Disease may be transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait or, in other affected families (kindreds), may have autosomal dominant inheritance. In other instances, the condition appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically). Some experts suggest that the condition may sometimes result from an unidentified infection during pregnancy affecting the developing fetus (intrauterine infection).

The basal ganglia appear to be involved in higher-order aspects of motor control, such as planning and execution of complex motor activity and the speed of movements. Lesions of the basal ganglia produce various types of involuntary movements such as athetosis, chorea, dystonia, and tremor. The basal ganglia are involved also in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and tardive dyskinesia.

    Extractions: Library Pediatric Movement Disorders Library Bradykinesia Mechanism Anatomy of the basal ganglia ). In Parkinson's disease, the dopamine-producing cells of the substantia nigra degenerate, leading to decreased dopamine in the striatum. Damage to the basal ganglia may produce different movement disorders, including dystonia, chorea, athetosis, or parkinsonism. Loss of dopamine activity seems to "turn down the volume" on the basal ganglia, so that movements become slow and difficult to initiate. The performance of rapidly sequenced or repetitive movements may be particularly difficult. In the most severe cases, the child is unable to initiate any movement and becomes frozen in place. A remarkable feature of parkinsonism is that often a sensory stimulus, such as a line on the ground that must be stepped over or a ball that must be caught, may lead to the very rapid and appropriate initiation of movement. Therefore, the primary problem in parkinsonism seems to be with self-generated, voluntary movements and children may move faster when they are responding to something in the environment outside themselves. In the adult and juvenile forms of Parkinson's disease (PD), cells in the substantia nigra start to die. These two disorders probably have many causes. In some cases, the adult form of PD has been linked to a dominant mutation in the gene for alpha-synuclein. The juvenile form has been linked to recessive mutations in the parkin genes. In both cases, these lead to a progressive decrease of dopamine in the striatum of the basal ganglia. Symptoms do not occur until substantial portions of the cells have died; in some studies, up to 70% of these cells die before the onset of symptoms. In adults, parkinsonism is sometimes caused by strokes in the substantia nigra or striatum; this would be a very unusual in a child.
