Extractions: Where virus replicates in the brain, virus can usually be isolated from brain tissue or from cerebrospinal fluid. This is not the case with the post infectious syndromes. Virus may reach the brain either by the blood stream or by spread along peripheral nerves. Asymptomatic infection of the brain is common. There are four main syndromes: Viral replication occurs in the brain tissue itself, causing destructive lesions in the grey matter. The main symptoms include: fever, drowsiness, confusion, convulsions

( Amazon.co.uk Prion Diseases Latest: BSE in the USA This document describes infectious agents which (almost certainly) do not have a nucleic acid genome. It seems that a protein alone is the infectious agent. The infectious agent has been called a prion . A prion has been defined as " small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify nucleic acids ". The discovery that proteins alone can transmit an infectious disease has come as a considerable surprise to the scientific community. Prion diseases are often called spongiform encephalopathies because of the post mortem appearance of the brain with large vacuoles in the cortex and cerebellum. Probably most mammalian species develop these diseases. Specific examples include: Scrapie : sheep TME (transmissible mink encephalopathy): mink CWD (chronic wasting disease): muledeer, elk

Extractions: MR imaging is exquisitely sensitive for detecting brain abnormalities. Particularly in the evaluation of white matter diseases, MR far outperforms any other imaging technique. Lesions that may be quite subtle or even invisible on CT are often clearly seen on the MR scan. The MR signal characteristics of white matter lesions are similar and relatively nonspecific, but other distinguishing features are often present to assist in diagnosis, such as the pattern of the abnormality, location, and enhancement features. The white matter is affected by many disease processes. The primary demyelinating disease is multiple sclerosis, but many other metabolic and inflammatory disorders result in deficient or abnormal myelination. Histologically, myelin abnormalities are either demyelinating or dysmyelinating. Demyelination implies destruction of myelin. Dysmyelination refers to defective formation or maintenance of myelin resulting from dysfunction of the oligodendrocytes. Most of the dysmyelinating disorders are caused by metabolic defects that present in infancy. White matter diseases in older children and adults are generally demyelinating or a combination of the two processes. NORMAL WHITE MATTER The white matter of the brain is located in the central and subcortical regions of the cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres and accounts for about 60 % of the total brain volume. The white matter includes the major commissural tracts, the cortical association fibers, and all the cortical afferent and efferent fibers. Histologically, the white matter contains nerve fibers, supporting cells, interstitial space, and vascular structures. White matter consists mostly of axons with their envelope of myelin, along with two types of neuroglia - oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Axons are extensions of neurons that reside within the gray matter of the brain, spinal cord, and ganglia. The myelin is produced and maintained by oligodendrocytes. Myelin functions as an insulator of the axons, and its structure facilitates rapid transmission of impulses.

Fax: 00/33/l/44.24.36.58. Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder in families of Portuguese-Azorean ancestry. The gene responsible for MJD has been assigned to a 29-cM interval on chromosome 14q. A large Brazilian family with MJD was genotyped with six new microsatellite markers spanning 19 cM on chromosome 14q. Linkage analysis and haplotype reconstruction reduced the MJD candidate region to a 3-cM interval between markers D14S280 and D14S81, permitting positional cloning. This interval also contains the spinal cerebellar ataxia 3 (SCA3) gene, responsible for a genetic subtype of the type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias, clinically related to MJD. This result supports the hypothesis that abnormalities in the same gene may be responsible for both disorders. The minor clinical differences between the two diseases may result from allelic heterogeneity.

Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Scrapie is a chronic disease of sheep which is transmitted by a filterable particle that is resistant to heat and formalin fixation. The human disease kuru , which is also caused by a filterable particle, is found in the Fore speaking people of New Guinea. The disease is perpetuated through the practice of cannibalism. These people eat the bodies of their own dead. Because only the women and children eat the brains, kuru is usually not found in the adult male population. Having discovered the relationship between cannibalism and kuru, the practice of cannibalism has been stopped and the incidence of the disease has abated. Kuru has a slow onset and is manifested by cerebellar signs and shaking ataxia. Death occurs with 18 to 24 months. Until recently, the infective agents of kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, and scrapie in sheep, were presumed to be slow, latent viruses. The latest hypothesis is that these diseases are caused by prions. Prions are composed of protein and are much smaller than viruses. Kuru

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/press/2002/August/020806.htm

Extractions: Potentially treatable psychiatric problems are common in patients with degenerative brain diseases affecting movement and coordination, according to a study by Johns Hopkins scientists. Up to 80 per cent of those with either Huntington's disease or degenerative diseases affecting the cerebellum also suffer from depression, impaired thinking and changes in personality, the study found. "Traditionally, there has been this distinction between neurological and psychiatric disorders, but it is an artificial distinction," said lead author Russell L. Margolis, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry at Hopkins and director of the Laboratory of Genetic Neurobiology. "Indeed, the high rate of psychiatric disorders in these patients suggests that many, if not most, can benefit from treatment, even if the course of the brain disease itself cannot be reversed. Many symptoms can be eased, and the quality of life for these patients and their families can be greatly enhanced," says Margolis. "Our findings of high rates of psychiatric disorders in Huntington's disease confirm the results of previous studies, and we believe we've found the first well-established link between serious psychiatric disorders and the cerebellum, a region at the back of the brain densely packed with nerve cells," notes Margolis.

Extractions: Cerebellar Ataxia a Genetic Disease identified in the Spinoni Italiani This year, an inherited disease which manifests itself as a Cerebellar Ataxia, or abnormal gait originating from a problem in a part of the brain, was identified in Spinoni. It was brought to light in Great Britain, when an eagerly awaited and carefully planned litter was born to Christine Bennet and Pat Wilkinson. Initially normal, the puppies began to have problems getting up at about 5 months, and by 11 months, after Christine's puppy had won Best in Show, the puppy was dead, and another no longer could walk and was euthanized. Largely through the sustained efforts of Ms. Wilkinson who was able to enlist the help of a well known geneticist, Dr Bruce Cattanach, and equally known neurologist at the Royal Veterinary College, Dr. Simon Wheeler, much has been identified about this disease through the study of the live animals and their post mortum tissue, as well as intense investigation of the pedigrees of affected animals. Their conclusions are these: 1. This particular Cerebellar Ataxia (henceforth in this article, "CA") is inherited as an autosomal recessive gene. This means that a puppy must have inherited a copy of the abnormal gene from both the sire and the dam for the puppy to display the disease. It means that both parents carried the gene, but did not suffer from the disease. A litter from a mating of two carriers will produce on average 25% puppies who will die of the disease, 50% who are well but are carriers and if mated will pass on the gene to 50% of their offspring, and 25% totally normal pups.
