In 800 APA word discuss one disorder that may affect the brain and the way it affects functions.

Answer 1

* Here I choose the disorder that effects the central nervous system of the brain is " PARKINSON'S DISEASE".

1) A disorder of the central nervous system that effects the movement, often including tremors.

2) Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

3) people who are having Parkinson's disorder may experience the following symptoms:

* Tremor: can occur at rest, in the hands, limbs, or can be postural.

* Muscular: stiff muscles, difficulty in standing, difficulty in walking, difficulty with bodily movements, muscular rigidity, problems with coordination, rhythmic muscle contractions, slow bodily movement or slow shuffling gait.

* sleep: early awakening, night mares, restless sleep or sleep disturbances.

* Whole body: Fatigue, dizziness, poor balance or restlessness.

* Cognitive: Amnesia, confusion in the evening hours, dementia, difficulty thinking and understanding.

* Speech: difficulty speaking, soft speech, voice box spasms.

* Nasal: distorted sense of smell or loss of smell.

* Urinary: dribbling of urine or leaking of urine.

* Mood: anxiety or apathy.

* Facial: jaw stiffness or reduced facial expression.

* other symptoms include:

Blank stare, constipation, depression, difficulty swallowing, drooling, fear of falling, loss in contrast sensitivity, small handwriting, trembling, neck stiffness, weight loss.

4) Parkinson's effect the brain and the way it affects functions:

* In Parkinson's disease, certain neurons or nerve cells in the brain gradually breakdown or die.

* Many of the above symptoms are due to loss of neurons that produce a chemical messenger in the brain called dopamine.

* When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

* people with Parkinson's also lose the nerve endings that produce norepinephrine, the main chemical messenger of the sympathetic nervous system, which control many autonomic functions of the body such as heart rate and blood pressure.

* Many brain cells of people with Parkinson's contain Lewy bodies, unusual clumps of the protein alpha- synuclein and this leads to memory loss called Lewy body dementia.
