What To Know About Nerve Pain In Mouth, Teeth, and Face
18 Oct 2021admin_alscvf8679

Nerve pain in the mouth and face can be because of the condition called trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Many people with the disease visit a dentist before going to a physician. This is because the pain you may experience commonly radiates to your jaw, gums, or teeth. So, if your dentist could not find an apparent cause of your pain, schedule an appointment with your doctor. They can determine your condition and provide proper treatment. Keep reading to understand the difference between trigeminal neuralgia and tooth nerve pain, including various treatment options for both conditions.
ALS Physical Therapy: How Does It Improve A Patient’s Living?
21 Jul 2021admin_alscvf8679

ALS physical therapy can help patients learn to adjust and cope up with their physical disabilities. With the use of this therapy, patients gain chances of maximizing what they can do at present. They can even go to a remedial massage therapist. These therapists know how to locate the source of muscle pain and treat it effectively. However, how does physical therapy address ALS? That we will find out as we go along this article. Before we get to that part, let us first know a few details about ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Come and join me!
Metallic Taste In Mouth: ALS Symptoms And Complications
10 Jul 2021admin_alscvf8679

Your altered taste buds can be due to several causes. But metallic taste in mouth ALS is a different case. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a developing nervous system disorder that attacks the nerve cells in the spinal cord and the brain. Apart from having a metallic taste, one of its significant symptoms includes poor motor skills as well.

An evolutionary perspective on complex neuropsychiatric disease 11/27/2023

Members of the NIMH Network for Studies of Mental Disorders in Ancestrally Diverse Populations illuminate the genetic architecture of complex neuropsychiatric illnesses in the context of forces of evolution: mutation, selection, migration, and genetic drift/population structure.

Striatal dopamine integrates cost, benefit, and motivation 11/27/2023

Eshel et al. combine economic analyses with dopamine recordings and manipulations to find that dopamine release in the striatum encodes both the magnitude of a reward and how much the mouse has worked for it. Furthermore, the higher the mouse’s motivational level, the lower the reward-evoked dopamine release.

Longitudinal single-cell transcriptional dynamics throughout neurodegeneration in SCA1 11/27/2023

In neurodegeneration, vulnerable neuronal populations are highly influenced by concomitant changes in surrounding cells, including glia. Here, Tejwani et al. performed longitudinal single-nucleus profiling of the mouse and human SCA1 cerebellum, which elucidated the progressive dysregulation of Purkinje cells and revealed early transcriptional changes in oligodendroglia and unipolar brush cells.

Amelioration of Tau and ApoE4-linked glial lipid accumulation and neurodegeneration with an LXR agonist 11/22/2023

Using lipidomics coupled with immunostaining, Litvinchuk et al. demonstrate that ApoE promotes changes in cholesterol metabolism and lipid accumulation in glia of 9.5-month-old P301S mice. LXR agonist GW3965 diet and Abca1 overexpression markedly decrease tauopathy, neurodegeneration, synapse loss and behavioral deficits, neuroinflammation, and glial lipid accumulation in 9.5-month-old P301S/ApoE4 mice.
