Psychosis in Fahr Syndrome: A Case Report.

Fahr syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a combination of neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Despite its complexity, there is a significant scarcity of literature addressing the treatment of the psychiatric symptoms of Fahr syndrome. This case report discusses the complexity of management of psychosis in patients with Fahr syndrome emphasizing the delicate balance required to address both psychiatric and neurological symptoms.

Modification to Neurology Residency Training: The Toronto Neurology COVID-19 Pandemic Experience.

We describe the University of Toronto Adult Neurology Residency Program's early experiences with and response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, including modifications to the provision of neurologic care while upholding neurology education and safety. All academic and many patient-related activities were virtualized. This maintained physical distancing while creating a city-wide videoconference-based teaching curriculum, expanding the learning opportunities to trainees at all academic sites.

Unusual tremor syndromes: know in order to recognise.

Tremor is a common neurological condition in clinical practice; yet, few syndromes are widely recognised and discussed in the literature. As a result, there is an overdiagnosis of well-known causes, such as essential tremor. Many important unusual syndromes should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with tremor.

GABA receptors and prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle in mice and rats.

The acoustic startle reflex is strongly inhibited by a moderate-intensity acoustic stimulus that precedes the startling stimulus by roughly 10-1000 ms (prepulse inhibition, PPI). At long interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 100-1000 ms, PPI in rats is reduced by the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine. Here, we studied the role of GABA receptors in PPI at full ISI ranges in both mice and rats.
