What deficits can you see with clock drawing
Design Copy:" Copy this design" • Frontal: attention, planning. Motor coordination
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
• Right parietal: construct, gestalt. Damage leads to hemineglect
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll ll ll ll
Difference between rationalization and intellectualization ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Intellectualization: use intellect to avoid an emotional/affective experience (get cancer,
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
spend all your time on internet learning about it to avoid emotionally experiencing having
ll
cancer)
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Rationalization: using rational explanations to justify an unacceptable behavior or belief
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
("I'm allowed to take stacks of napkins home from McDonald's because they'll just throw
ll ll ll
them away anyway") ll ll ll ll
What is isolation of affect?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
a defense mechanism in which you "think the feeling" instead of feeling it.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ex. "i guess i'm angry at him" vs. expressed and experienced anger
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Isolation: separate an idea from an affect ("isolation of affect" PRITE question has a patient
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
who blankly tells therapist that, as a child, his dad kicked a puppy to death. No affect in
ll ll
telling story ll ll ll ll
repression vs suppression (defense mechanisms) ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
-repression is unconscious, not aware of it happening. exclusion of unwanted experience
ll ll
or emotions ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
-suppression is conscious removal of awareness, this is like procrastinating or pushing
ll ll
things down
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Repression: put an undesirable thought/feeling into the unconscious to avoid dealing with
, ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll
it. This is different from suppression, which consciously avoids the thought. (Repression: ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll
unconsciously forgetting a rape at the age of 5. Suppression: choosing not to think about
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll
the rape that happened at age 5). Repression is similar to thought blocking, except no
ll ll ll ll
tension is observed with repression
• Suppression: consciously postponing discomfort (one child in car accident, rather than
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
first rushing to ER, suppresses fear and calls the other kids at home to make sure they are
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
safe and cared for, then goes to ER)
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
With loss of sleep, with happens with glucose tolerance ll ll
decreased glucose tolerance
ll ll ll
other things that happen:
ll ll ll
- increased cortisol levels
ll ll ll ll
- decreased brain metabolic rate
ll ll ll ll
- decreased host defense system
ll ll ll
- increased sympathetic activation ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Which of the following is the best tool to localize genes of single or major effect within a
ll ll ll ll
family of related individuals?
ll ll
a. linkage analysis
ll ll
b. association mapping
ll ll ll ll
c. candidate gene studies
ll ll ll ll ll
d. genome wide associated studies
ll ll ll
e. comparative genomic hybridization ll ll
Linkage analysis ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Linkage Analysis: studies where in the genome (i.e., in which chromosomal region) a
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
disease mutation or susceptibility locus may reside. The likelihood that two loci on a
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
chromosome will co-segregate is inversely proportional to the distance between them
(genes physically close to each other shouldn’t spereate during random crossover in
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
meiosis). Measured using Logarithm of the odds (LOD) with score of 3 (1,000:1 odds) as
ll ll ll ll ll
the threshold for declaring linkage ll ll ll ll ll
What are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)?
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs): Disorders may arise not from one single
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
problematic gene, but the cumulative effect of many small one-letter variations, or SNPs.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Identified with genome-wide studies. Low predictive value thus far.
ll ll
genome-wide association studies ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
track SNP patterns among individuals who share a particular trait or disorder ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
Genome-Wide Association Studies: looks for common SNPs and variants to identify genes
influencing complex disorders in an “unbiased” way because they look at the whole
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
genome and don’t need prespecified hypothesis about which genes are important. High
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll
risk of false-positives. Has iidentified genetic loci associated with autism, bipolar disorder,
ll ll
and schizophrenia
