hey BGcool...thanks for stoppin by n for ur words of wisdomnod
wel [b]hallucination types r 3- visual,auditory n tactile
Auditory hallucinations, particularly of one or more talking voices, are particularly associated with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia..visual hallucination is again divided to Hypnagogic hallucination,Peduncular hallucinosis,Delirium tremens...
Amotivational syndrome is said to be an inability or an unwillingness to participate in normal social situations and activities, a chronic, persistent state of apathy caused by an external event, situation, substance, relationship, or other cause.seen wiht cannabis users...
Deficits in spatial context memory are an important characteristic of Korsakoff's amnesia..seen with alcohol intoxcation..
i dint get wat's DT?
did i get it rite??




  #11

i got it!!nod..silly mesticking out tongue
Delirium tremens (DT) is a potentially fatal form of alcohol withdrawal due to effect on benzodiazepine-GABAa-chloride receptor complex with unopposed increase in sympathetic activity with a resultant increase in plasma and urinary catecholamines..Ethanol also acts as an N-methyl D-aspartate receptor antagonist. Withdrawal of ethanol leads to increased activity of these excitatory neural receptors.
did i get it rite??? how m i doing??

  #12

well try....smiling facesmiling face...nerve.. believe me even it was more difficult for me to recall when i went through this sub.. grin but ur doing better wink

nways here r short n sweet ans to all short que..

1)which are the various types of hallucination? and in which disorders u see them?

visual- acute organic brain syn

auditory-schizophrenia

tactile- DT's n cocaine abuse(bugs)

olfactory-aura phase of psychomotor epilepsy

hypnogogic(while going to sleep) n hypnopompic(while waking frm sleep)-narcolepsy

there is gustatory also..but its rare..


2)where u will find "DT'S" .and ." AMOTIVATIONAL SYND" ?

DT's- alcohol withdrawal..usually 3 to 5 th day of withdrawl it is seen
AMOTIVATIONAL SYN- as u hav said marijuana..


3)what is korsakoff's amnesia? and which part of brain is most affected??

its an anterograde amnesia (confabulation) seen in thaimine defi ..in chronic alcoholics... in which the part of brain that is affected is mamillary body...


keep going.............ur on right path buddy......hard work always pay.......

alright then more later..
