dopamine &  serotonin among many  others.

There are many, many neurotransmitters, and I doubt that we've managed to identify them all.\n\nThe primary excitatory NT is glutamate, and the primary inhibitory NT is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).  Other prominent and important NTs include acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine,  and norepinephrine.\n\nIf you're mining for a research paper, that should help you get started.  Beyond that, I'm afraid your question doesn't make much sense.

then you need to hit up the acs and look at medicinal, pharmaceutical, and organic chemists.  pay attention to bioorganic chemists as well.  you can try contacting chemists as well to see what they do.\n\ni can tell you this BS chemists are lab techs normally, MS chemists can supervise, and PhDs are in charge.\n\ni'm a bioorganic chemist going for a phd so i don't have to be someones lab slave.  i do research in acetylcholinesterase inhibitors which are the primary treatment for alzheimers.

Hi, Doctor here from Rawalpindi\n\nWhat you are looking for is Lewy Body Dementia\nIt is a brain related disorder with features of memory loss, hallucinations or Parkinson like state. Treatable with course of medication dependent on age,heatlh and personal care.\n\nYou have asked about private clinic/hospital for its treatment. As an answer i say\n\n1-- Treatment duration is not fixed and stay at hospital is costly so if there are no financial constraints then move to points below.\n2-- Psychiatric illness experts availble in Rawalpindi will be most helpful as diseases is related to their field.\n3-- Doctors like DR. Fareed Minhas runs his own private clinic on Peshawar road. He is the Head of department of Pyschiatry in Rawalpindi General Hospital and Rawalpindi Medical college.

Dementia is the umbrella term for any loss in cognitive function, Alzheimers is a specific type of dementia and then only one even partially well understood.  Besides Alzheimers there are three types: General Dementia (not too severe), Lewy Body Dementia and Vascular Dementia

Do you mean Alzheimer's?

My mother has been diagnoses with Alzheimer's disease.  She has good days and some not so good.\nHearing "I know you are one of my children, but I don't know your name." can hurt.\nOne of the most helpful site I have found is the first one below:\nOf all of the medication she has tried, Aricept was one which had the best results.  Details for this can be found at the second site listed:

I looked around online and I found a lot of mentions of people with AD and dominos but nothing that looked like a scientific study.\nI wouldn't say that playing dominos could TREAT AD--it's more like a simple game someone suffering from AD could still play.\nI do a lot of puzzles with my dad--he likes to match up pieces with lines on them, or with words (he can still read, but with difficulty).\nYou might want to write to the Alzheimer's Association--they are up on all the studies and treatments.

Not that I have ever heard ... cat litter has been associated (rightly or wrongly) with Alzheimers, however. There is small evidence (disputed) that Alzheimers is linked to increased levels of aluminum in the body. Cat litter can contain aluminum oxide.\n\nI personally think this is one of those scare stories put about by people who only half read the watered-down media redactions of medical research.

it is not a LACK of serotonin that is believed to predispose a person to these disorders, but the RELATIVE levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in several brain areas. increasing serotonin by itself has not shown to significantly relieve symptoms if norepinephrine and dopamine levels are not mediated as well. rarely is one neurotransmitter solely associated with clinical presentation.

In brain capillary endothelium and catecholaminergic terminals a single decarboxylation step effected by aromatic amino-acid decarboxylase converts phenylalanine to phenylethylamine, at a rate comparable to that of the central synthesis of dopamine. Phenylethylamine, however, is not stored in intra-neuronal vesicles and is rapidly degraded by monoamine oxidase-B. Despite its short half-life, phenylethylamine attracts attention as an endogenous amphetamine since it can potentiate catecholaminergic neurotransmission and induce striatal hyperreactivity. Subnormal phenylethylamine levels have been linked to disorders such as attention deficit and depression; the use of selegiline (Deprenyl) in Parkinson's disease may conceivably favour recovery from deficient dopaminergic neurotransmission by a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitory action that increases central phenylethylamine. Excess phenylethylamine has been invoked particularly in paranoid schizophrenia, in which it is thought to act as an endogenous amphetamine and, therefore, would be antagonized by neuroleptics. The importance of phenylethylamine in mental disorders is far from fully elucidated but the evolution of phenylethylamine concentrations in relation to symptoms remains a worthwhile investigation for individual psychotic patients.\n\ncould increase monoamine oxidase-B in order to degrade the available amount of phenylethylamine in system.

Stroke, brain disease, blockage, MS, Lewie Bodies Dementia, Shy Drager, certain meds, shrinkage of the brain, too many opiates over a long period of time, severe alcoholism, lusk of the draw.  That is to name a few.  A lot of the diseases that cause dementia cannot even be diagnosed accurately until afer death, if an autopsy is perfomed.  \n\nI am not a doctor.

WARNING:  What apears to be dementia to you may be any of several problems.  You need to get your mother to a physican for a check up.\n\nDocumentation.  You need spesific examples of why you feel your mother needs round the clock care. The physican will need to run tests to diagnose dementia.  If your mother is unwilling you will need to convince a judge that she needs care for her own protection.   I would speak with your mothers physican as to his thoughts once you have some documentaiton.\n\nJay

I assume you are asking about total cholesterol and not the ldl or low density cholesterol.  There was some discussion in the medical literature about this issue years ago when statin therapy came out.  One study hinted at increased suicides and deaths by all causes once the cholesterol got below a certain point (a J shaped curve)  but this was never substantiated.  Some scientists theorize that too low cholesterol may contribute to dementia, but this has never been substantiated, either.  It seems that a low cholesterol really lowers the rates of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke, as long as the HDL or high density cholesterol is adequate.  \n\nFinally, one must also consider that low cholesterol can be associated wtih chronic illness and liver disease, or poor diet, so if it is really low, you might ask your doctor for a full evaluation, if your doctor feels it would be warranted.  Good luck.
