Abstract
Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common neurological conditions and the most common movement disorder. The pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie this entity have not yet been described. However, recent post-mortem brain studies have provided useful insight into the underlying pathology of ET. Two brain areas have been consistently found to present neuropathological alterations in patients with ET: the brainstem, for presence of Lewy bodies or neuronal depletion, and the cerebellum, regarding Purkinje cells' morphology and density. In the present study we aim to review the literature on the main neuropathological findings in ET brains.
本质性震颤(ET)是最常见的神经系统疾病之一,也是最常见的运动障碍。这种疾病的病理生理机制尚未被描述清楚。不过,最近的脑部尸检研究为了解 ET 的基本病理提供了有用的信息。研究一致发现,ET 患者的两个脑区存在神经病理学改变:脑干(路易体或神经元耗竭)和小脑(浦肯野细胞的形态和密度)。本研究旨在回顾有关 ET 大脑主要神经病理学发现的文献。
期刊介绍:
Folia Neuropathologica is an official journal of the Mossakowski Medical Research Centre Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Association of Neuropathologists. The journal publishes original articles and reviews that deal with all aspects of clinical and experimental neuropathology and related fields of neuroscience research. The scope of journal includes surgical and experimental pathomorphology, ultrastructure, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology of the nervous tissue. Papers on surgical neuropathology and neuroimaging are also welcome. The reports in other fields relevant to the understanding of human neuropathology might be considered.
