HLA and complement typing in olivo-ponto-cerebellar atrophy.
HLA antigen typing was carried out in a family with an autosomal dominant form of spinocerebellar degeneration [possibly olivoponto cerebellar atrophy (O.P.C.A.)--Type 1]. Eleven ataxic patients, three possibly ataxic subjects, two unrelated spouses and 13 clinically normal at risk siblings were typed for ABO and Rh blood groups, HLA-A and HLA-B antigens, C4 component of the complement and a nu...
متن کاملAbbreviating the Finger Tapping Test.
The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) has a strong empirical base but its procedures are inconsistent and the test can be time-consuming. To simplify and abbreviate administration procedures, several potential abbreviated procedures were evaluated using a sample of 71 individuals presenting to a VA Hospital for neuropsychological evaluation. A short version using the mean score of Trials 3-5 for each h...
متن کاملNicotine Increases Cerebellar Activity during Finger Tapping
Nicotine improves performance on several cognitive and sensorimotor tasks. The neuronal mechanisms associated with these changes in performance are, however, largely unknown. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the effect of nicotine on neuronal response in nineteen healthy subjects while they performed an auditory-paced finger tapping task. Subjects performed the t...
متن کاملSpinocerebellar Degenerations in Japan
SCA type 6 in 20.0%, ADCA linked to chromosome 16q22.1 in 10.0%, dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy in 4.4%, SCA type 1 in 1.1% and SCA type 2 in 1.1%. SCA type 3 was highly prevalent in the Toyama prefecture of the Hokuriku district, particularly in the Gosei area (the western part of Toyama prefecture), with a prevalence of 19.1 per 100,000 people [10] , which is very similar to the prevale...
