Abstract

Background. Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (GTS) is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by multiple motor and vocal tics, and associated to specific behavioural disturbances, which bear a significant detrimental impact on the health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) of patients. Aims. To provide the first investigation of the main determinants of HR-QOL in GTS using a disease-specific HR-QOL measure. Methods. A 40-item GTS-specific HR-QOL inventory was generated based on interviews with 120 GTS outpatients attending the Tourette clinic, Queen Square, London, plus literature review and consultation with movement disorders experts. The inventory was then administered to a new sample of 102 adult patients, along with standardised psychometric rating scales for tic severity, obsessionality, anxiety, and depression, and a generic HR-QOL scale. Results. The Physical and Psychological domains of HR-QOL were most affected in our clinical sample. Multiple regression analysis showed that both tic severity and comorbid behavioural problems are strong predictors of GTS-QOL scores. The GTS-QOL inventory showed high convergent validity with the generic HR-QOL measure. Conclusions. The GTS-QOL inventory is proposed as a clinically sound basis for the development of a new measure of disease-specific HR-QOL in patients with GTS, taking into account the complexity of the clinical picture of the syndrome.

Abstract

In 1976 Julian Jaynes published his controversial book The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, introducing the hypothesis of a two-chambered brainmind model that preceded the evolutionary development of the conscious mind. Jaynes’ speculative model gave rise to a huge debate, which has reverberated throughout the current neuroscientific and neurophilosophical literature. Has the bicameral mind stood the test of time? To answer this question, the present paper adopts a multidisciplinary perspective and, after briefly summarizing Jaynes’ hypothesis, addresses two main critical issues: the neurological basis of the bicameral model and the philological accuracy of Jaynes’ arguments. Finally, the concept of a non-unitary Self is presented as one of the most relevant contemporary legacies of the bicameral mind.

Abstract

In 1976 American psychologist Julian Jaynes published "The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind". In this controversial book, Jaynes introduced the hypothesis of a two-chambered brain-mind model (right versus left hemisphere) that preceded the evolutionary development of the conscious mind. Jaynes' speculative model gave rise to a huge debate, which has reverberated throughout the current neuroscientific and neurophilosophical literature. Has the bicameral mind model stood the test of time? To answer this question, the present paper adopts a multidisciplinary perspective and, after briefly summarizing Jaynes' hypothesis, addresses two main critical issues: the neurological basis of the bicameral model in the light of recent neurobiological insights and the philological accuracy of Jaynes' arguments. Finally, the concept of a non-unitary Self is presented as one of the most relevant contemporary legacies of the bicameral mind model.

Abstract

A 68-year old woman presented with a two year history of recurrent memory disturbances. The EEG recording during an episode of anterograde amnesia lasting two hours showed bitemporal epileptiform discharges. Carbamazepine was given with complete control of the attacks and normalization of EEG activity. In a few months she reported a good improvement in memory functions further supported by neuropsychological evaluation.

Abstract

The placebo effect is a widespread phenomenon in medicine and its neurobiological mechanisms are understood only partially. Insights on the brain mechanisms underlying the placebo effect come mostly from studies on pain conditions, including headache. In summary, placebo analgesia represents a situation where the administration of a substance known to be non-analgesic produces an analgesic response every time the subject is told that it is a painkiller. On the other hand, the nocebo effect is the phenomenon whereby a patient who believes that a treatment will cause harm actually experiences adverse effects. The discovery that placebo analgesia is mediated by the release of endogenous opioids - and nocebo hyperalgesia by the release of the neuropeptide colecystokinin - opened new avenues to our understanding of the neurobiology of brain-body interactions. Finally, placebo-induced expectations have proved able to trigger different neural pathways affecting not only perception, but also movement and mood, as shown by recent neuroimaging studies on patients affected by Parkinson disease and major depression.

Abstract

Aims: Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, originally described by Georges Gilles de la Tourette in 1885, is a developmental neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by multiple motor and vocal tics, usually presenting with a waxing and waning course over time. Complex tic-related symptoms, such as forced touching, self-injurious behaviours, echolalia/echopraxia, palilalia/palipraxia, and coprophenomena, have been included in the classical clinical picture. Moreover, associated psychopathology is quite common, especially obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and mood disorders. Converging evidence from epidemiological, phenomenological, neuroanatomical and genetic studies suggests that certain psychopathological features are not integral to the syndrome, whereas others seem to be genetically linked. However, controversy has traditionally characterised our understanding of the links between the behavioural problems and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. The present report provides an up-to-date review of the psychopathological profile of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, with a special emphasis on treatment implications. Methods: The authors analysed the evidence from the literature (sources: PubMed, PsycInfo) regarding Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, focusing on its clinical phenomenology and the following psychiatric comorbidities: obsessive-compulsive disorder/behaviours, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder, depression, and personality disorders. Results: Current evidence suggests that the psychopathological spectrum of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome may be described as follows: specific obsessive-compulsive symptoms are an integral part of the syndrome, as they are genetically related to simple and complex tics; attentional problems and hyperactivity, albeit common, seem to be genetically linked only in some cases; depression is common as well, yet multifactorial in aetiology; personality disorders have been poorly investigated, and may be related to co-morbidity issues rather than to Gilles de la Tourette syndrome per se. Finally, the possibility of a more severe psychopathological profile resulting from referral bias should always be taken in due account (Tables II, III). Conclusions: Further studies are needed to identify more precisely the phenotype not only of Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, but also of the associated psychopathological disorders. It has increasingly been acknowledged that environmental factors, such as perinatal difficulties and streptococcal infections, can be invoked as putative patho-aetiological mechanisms for a subgroup of cases of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. In this respect, future research examining the psychopathologies with more structured and rigorous methods, linking them to genetic, neuroimaging, neuroimmunological, and neuropsychological studies, will be fruitful in clarifying whether or not the "genetic Gilles de la Tourette syndrome" shares the same phenotype with the "environmentally driven Gilles de la Tourette syndrome".

Abstract

Recent experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak aim at improving the physics base for ITER andDEMOto aid the machine design and prepare efficient operation. Type I edge localized mode (ELM) mitigation using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) has been shown at low pedestal collisionality (v.ped 0.4). In contrast to the previous high v. regime, suppression only occurs in a narrow RMP spectral window, indicating a resonant process, and a concomitant confinement drop is observed due to a reduction of pedestal top density and electron temperature. Strong evidence is found for the ion heat flux to be the decisive element for the L.H power threshold. A physics based scaling of the density at which the minimum PLH occurs indicates that ITER could take advantage of it to initiate H-mode at lower density than that of the finalQ = 10 operational point. Core density fluctuation measurements resolved in radius and wave number show that an increase of R/LT e introduced by off-axis electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) mainly increases the large scale fluctuations. The radial variation of the fluctuation level is in agreement with simulations using the GENE code. Fast particles are shown to undergo classical slowing down in the absence of large scale magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) events and for low heating power, but show signs of anomalous radial redistribution at large heating power, consistent with a broadened off-axis neutral beam current drive current profile under these conditions. Neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) suppression experiments using electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) with feedback controlled deposition have allowed to test several control strategies for ITER, including automated control of (3,2) and (2,1) NTMs during a single discharge. Disruption mitigation studies using massive gas injection (MGI) can show an increased fuelling efficiency with high field side injection, but a saturation of the fuelling efficiency is observed at high injected mass as ne

Abstract

In a tokamak, magnetic islands need to be suppressed. Suppression is possible with electron cyclotron heating (ECH), which can be positioned using electron cyclotron emission (ECE) temperature measurements. A set-up to detect ECE in the line of sight of ECH has been built for the TEXTOR tokamak and the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. In TEXTOR, a dielectric filter was used to separate low power ECE from high power ECH and successful aiming of ECH and suppression of a magnetic island could be demonstrated. At ASDEX Upgrade, a fast directional switch (FADIS) was used to separate ECE from ECH. Measurements of magnetic islands at ASDEX Upgrade are presented. The applicability of these measurements for magnetic island detection is discussed.

Abstract

The last decade saw a renaissance of studies on consciousness, witnessed by the growing number of scientific publications on this topic. Our understanding of the nature and neurobiological bases of consciousness - otherwise stated «soul» - is still at the very beginning, partly because of its intrinsic elusiveness. The concept of consciousness is central in epileptology, despite the methodological difficulties concerning its application to the multifaceted phenomenology of seizures. The authors propose a simple bidimensional model for the description of seizure-induced alterations of the states of consciousness, which entails a quantitative and a qualitative feature, namely the level and the contents of consciousness. The neurophysiological correlates of ictal loss and impairment of consciousness are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the subjective experiential states or emotional «qualia» associated with temporal lobe epilepsy. This strategy provides useful insights in ictal phenomenology as perceived from the first-person perspective of the patient experiencing peculiarly altered states of consciousness. Epilepsy is confirmed to represent a privileged window over basic neurobiological mechanisms of consciousness.
