Abstract:

Objective: Alexithymia and hypomentalization, two traits associated with childhood emotional abuse/neglect, have not previously been studied in people with mixed-symptom functional neurological disorder (FND). This case-control study these traits in people with FND compared to healthy control participants, and explored the relationships between alexithymia, mentalization, and somatic and neurological symptoms of a generalized nature. Method: Twenty-nine participants with FND and 41 healthy control participants completed a battery of self-report measures. Between-group differences in alexithymi

Abstract:

The study of rare Mendelian disorders is able to provide unique insights into neurological disorders that may seem unrelated. This thesis reports mechanistic investigations of five neurological disorders presenting with progressive or episodic neurological symptoms. First, riboflavin transporter neuronopathy represents a phenotypic spectrum of motor, sensory and cranial nerve neuropathy, often with respiratory problems. Our main findings implicate mitochondrial dysfunction as a downstream consequence of riboflavin transporter gene defects and validate riboflavin esters as a potential therapeut

Abstract:

A wide range of conditions are characterised by focal neurological symptoms, yet the pathophysiolgy often remains poorly understood. This thesis has focussed on applying functional neuroimaging in clinical groups. Migraines with aura are amongst the most common conditions posing a signiﬁcant burden to suﬀerers. Elevated connectivity was detected in the visual cortex of migraine with aura patients, potentially complementing one of the leading proposed mechanisms for attacks. Minor strokes patients are also aﬀected by focal symptoms after events which in some cases can be prolonged. Altered conn

Abstract:

Nearly one billion people worldwide have a neurological disease, and one out of every six adults in the United States has a mental illness. For rare and severe neurodevelopmental disorders, like Timothy syndrome (TS), exact genetic causes have been identified and studied extensively. TS is caused by a single point mutation in CACNA1C, a voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC), which results in severe developmental defects, cardiac arrhythmia, and autism. Studies using patient derived cells are useful in identifying impaired cellular function, especially for TS and other neural activity-dependent

Abstract Undefined severe neurological and multi-organ diseases are rare as single diseases, but as a group of diseases, they are responsible for significant morbidity, impaired quality of life and mortality, emphasizing the importance of neuroscience research and its translation into novel diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Complexins (CPLXs) are small, cytoplasmic proteins that modulate exocytosis of neurotransmitters via an interaction with the SNARE complex.

To examine the possibility that depletion of <i>Cplx2</i> (and later <i>Cplx1</i>) contributes to the abnormal neurological phenotype in R6/2 mice, the behaviour of <i>Cplx1</i> and <i>Cplx2</i> knockout mice was characterised.

Abstract:

Impaired motor function following neurological injury may be overcome through therapies that induce neuroplastic changes in the brain. Therapeutic methods include repetitive exercises that promote use-dependent plasticity (UDP), the benefit of which may be increased by first administering peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) to activate afferent fibers, resulting in increased cortical excitability. We speculate that PNS delivered only in response to attempted movement would induce timing-dependent plasticity (TDP), a mechanism essential to normal motor learning.
