We present the case of a 42-year-old Greek woman with nonparaneoplastic anti-GAD LE, discussing the therapeutic management and highlighting the role of neuropsychological assessment. The patient underwent functional and structural brain studies and was investigated longitudinally over a 6-year period with a battery of neuropsychological tests that were designed to document her intellectual function and verbal and visual memory. The patient suffered from refractory temporal-impaired awareness seizures and memory impairment that was mediated by autoimmune nonparaneoplastic LE and comorbid autoimmune disorders (ie, Hashimoto thyroiditis and vitiligo). Neuroimaging studies demonstrated hyperintensities in the medial temporal lobes bilaterally on T2WI MRI sequences. Serial EEGs showed bitemporal intermittent delta activity as well as epileptiform discharges. Tumor blood markers and onconeural antibodies were negative. Immunological screening revealed extremely high GAD-Abs titers in both serum and CSF, as well as the presence of CSF oligoclonal bands. Neuropsychological testing revealed anterograde amnesia with relative preservation of more remote, premorbid memories. The patient underwent first-line immunotherapy followed by immunosuppressive maintenance treatment that led to a reduction of seizures, EEG improvement, and a significant decline in GAD-Abs titers. Neuropsychological evaluations at 5 months, 1 year, and 6 years posttreatment demonstrated improvement, particularly in recent memory and everyday functionality. In this case of anti-GAD LE, the long-term seizure reduction and the improvement of neuropsychological deficits were most likely related to the immunotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40521587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: A total of 74 individuals—37 with mild to moderate AD, 19 with aMCI, and 18 with normal cognition (NC)—underwent a 3T MRI. Fully automated segmentation and volumetric measurements were performed. Results: The AD and aMCI groups had smaller volumes of amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and hippocampus compared with the NC group. These same two groups had significantly smaller total white matter volume than the NC group. The AD group had smaller total GM volume compared with the aMCI and NC groups. The thalamus in the AD group showed a subtle atrophy. There were no significant volumetric differences in the caudate nucleus, putamen, or globus pallidus between the groups. Conclusion: The amygdala and nucleus accumbens showed atrophy comparable to the hippocampal atrophy in both the AD and aMCI groups, which may contribute to cognitive impairment. Hippocampal volumetry is a reliable tool for differentiating between AD and NC groups but has substantially less power in differentiating between AD and aMCI groups. The loss of total GM volume differentiates AD from aMCI and NC.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41437948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After ∼2½ years from the first treatment, the man’s behavioral disorders mildly worsened, at which time we re-evaluated him. His cognition was stable, and a positive Venereal Disease Research Laboratory Test confirmed the diagnosis of neurosyphilis. With this case, we demonstrated that in some instances, neurosyphilis can mimic frontotemporal dementia.

Although PCA is most commonly a form of Alzheimer disease (AD), its early diagnosis is usually delayed due to a lack of understanding for how best to clinically screen for the syndrome. Objective: To identify neurobehavioral screening tasks for PCA—beyond simple visual constructions—that can be administered in clinic or at bedside. Method: We compared the performance of 12 individuals who met neuroimaging-supported consensus criteria for PCA with that of 12 matched individuals with typical AD (tAD) and 24 healthy controls (HC) on clinic/bedside tasks measuring (a) complex figure copying, (b) Balint syndrome, (c) visual object agnosia, (d) color identification, (e) figure–ground discrimination, (f) global–local processing, (g) dressing apraxia, (h) ideomotor apraxia, and (i) Gerstmann syndrome. Results: All of the individuals with PCA were impaired on the figure–ground discrimination task compared with half of the tAD group and no HC. Approximately half of the PCA group had Balint syndrome, dressing apraxia, and ideomotor apraxia compared with none in the tAD group. Difficulty copying a complex figure, global–local processing impairment, and Gerstmann syndrome did not distinguish between the two dementia groups. Conclusion: The figure–ground discrimination task can be used successfully as an overall screening measure for PCA, followed by specific tasks for Balint syndrome and dressing and limb apraxia.

Method: We provided individuals with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas of the language-related eloquent areas with the same standard of care, including surgical resection of the glioma using intraoperative sensory-motor and cognitive mapping under awake craniotomy, and the same protocol for chemoradiotherapy. Cognitive functioning was assessed using Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination—Revised (ACE–R) at four time points (preoperatively, early after surgery, and 3 and 6 months postoperatively). Results: The preoperative evaluation revealed a range of cognitive impairments in 70.7% of the individuals, affecting all of the cognitive subdomains (mostly attention and visuospatial abilities). Overall cognitive functioning (ie, ACE–R score) dropped by 13.5% (P = 0.169) early postoperatively.

In particular, the cerebral cortex has long dominated thinking about the organization of brain–behavior relationships. As a result, subcortical structures, including deep gray matter and, most notably, white matter, have been accorded relatively little neuroscientific study compared with the extensive work devoted to the cerebral cortex. The influence of corticocentrism can be explained by several factors, including historical precedent in neurology strongly emphasizing the importance of the cortex, a preponderance of investigative methods that selectively target this structure, and a misinterpretation of comparative neuroanatomic data gathered from normal brains. This paper will describe the background of the corticocentric bias and emphasize that white matter merits its own place within the study of the higher functions. Although corticocentrism continues to exert a powerful impact on behavioral neurology, considerable progress is being made in the study of white matter—a development that promises to expand our knowledge of the normal brain and lead to an improved understanding of how it mediates behavior. In turn, a range of vexing neurologic and psychiatric disorders may become better illuminated by considering pathology within, or dysfunction of, white matter tracts. A complete appreciation of brain–behavior relationships requires an understanding not only of the outermost layer of the cerebral hemispheres, but also of white matter connectivity that links gray matter regions into distributed neural networks that subserve cognition and emotion.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46908459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
