Parkinson's Disease

 Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that ultimately results in dementia. 

 Which of the following is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that ultimately results in dementia? 

 Acetylcholine is involved in long-term memory storage in the brain but is not indicated as a cause for the brain damage seen in a patient after a CVA. 

 High levels of calcium in neurons in response to the release of excess glutamate lead to increased brain damage in a patient suffering from a CVA. 

 Serotonin is not thought to play a role in the production of brain damage that results after a CVA. 

 Acting as an excitotoxin, the main culprit in the damage caused by a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is __________. 

 Poliomyelitis results from destruction of ventral horn motor neurons by the poliovirus. Early symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain and weakness, and loss of some somatic reflexes. Later, paralysis develops and the muscles served atrophy. 

 Which of the following conditions results from viral destruction of ventral horn motor neurons?  

Alzheimer's Disease
