Case study question:
Brianna went to the doctor as she was showing symptoms of deficits in memory which includes having trouble remembering where she placed objects, recent conversations, and appointments to name a few. Recently, she became more irritated and lashed out at her parents, while not being able to regulate her emotions, social behavior, planning, language, spatial navigation, and higher-level thought. Her doctor diagnosed her with early stage Alzheimer’s disease.
Answer the questions below:
1. pick one symptom and describe what area of the brain has been affected to cause those symptoms
2. Amyloid plaques are hard, insoluble accumulations of proteins that clump together between the nerve cells (neurons) in the brains of Alzheimers disease patients. How could this cause the symptoms of the patients?
3. Her doctor prescribed her a drug called a cholinesterase inhibitor. Much like a neurotoxin, it slows the action of acetylcholinesterase. How could this assist to fight off the disease?
4. What type of drug was this?
a. agonist
b. antagonist
