Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are often described as failing to show a normal range of goal directed behaviours. Among explanations that have been proposed for this apathy are effects of personality, depression and disability. This thesis investigated the phenomena from a neuropsychological perspective. It was found that PD patients are significantly more apathetic than equally disabled osteoarthritis patients, indicating that their apathy is a primary symptom of the disease. No evidence was found relating apathy in PD to personality, depression, anxiety or anhedonia. It was found that the PD patients with high levels of apathy were impaired on cognitive tests, but only those that required executive control. Using visual-search tasks it was shown that this association could not be accounted for by a reduction in effort applied. It was also shown that attention to novelty or curiosity arousing stimuli were not reduced in PD patients with apathy. However, it was shown that they persevered on task for longer than patients with low apathy in conditions in which there was no prompt to stop. This may be due to a willed action deficit that retards actions in situations that lack formal guidance. To test this hypothesis further, a task was developed to record response times for stimuli and will driven actions and was validated in a single case study of an akinetic patient. Although PD patients with high apathy appeared to show a willed action deficit, it was also found that other executive impairments might confound interpretation. It is concluded that apathy in PD may be an expression of executive impairment, but further research is needed to assess the relative contributions of cognitive and motivational dysfunction. There are significant implications to the findings, including the conceptualisation of apathy as a symptom and the potential for therapeutic interventions with apathetic patients.

  • Dveloping a New Apathy Measurement Scale
    Developing a New Apathy Measurement Scale Exam Number: B020190 MSc Human Cognitive Neuropsychology School of Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences The University of Edinburgh 2012 Abstract Apathy is both a symptom and syndrome prevalent in many pathological populations that affects motivation to display goal directed functions. Apathy has been established as having a triadic substructure by various researchers but has never been directly detected in normative and non- normative populations. Levy and Dubois (2006) proposed three apathetic subtypes, Cognitive, Emotional- Affective and Auto Activation, all with particular neural correlates and functional impairments. The aim of this study was to create and begin the validation process of a new apathy measure called the Dimensional Apathy Scale (DAS), which assesses the three previously mentioned apathetic subtypes. There were 311 participants (mean = 37.4, SD = 15.0) ranging from 18 to 70 years old .Upon performing an Horn’s parallel analysis of principal factors and Exploratory Factor Analysis, 4 factors (labelled Executive, Emotional, Cognitive Initiation and Behavioural Initiation) were extracted accounting for 28.9% of the total variance. The factors and their meanings fitted Levy and Dubois’ definitions of the three apathetic subtypes with the exception of the Auto Activation apathy. Upon closer examination thematically the Auto Activation apathy subtype definition accounted for Behavioural Initiation and Cognitive Initiation factors. These were found to be thematically intertwined and therefore were labelled as Behavioural/Cognitive Initiation. The 24 item DAS contained 3 subscales – Executive, Emotional and Behavioural/Cognitive Initiation, each composed of 8 items. The DAS items for each subscale showed good reliability and validity against depression based on a normally ageing population.

This paper discusses the nature of Psychological stress give-up-itis, with progressive demotivation and executive dysfunction that have clinical analogues suggesting Psychopathology frontal-subcortical circuit dysfunction particularly within the dorsolateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate Neuropsychology circuits. It is hypothesised that progressive give-up-itis is consequent upon dopamine disequilibrium in these circuits, and a general theory for the cause and progression of give-up-itis is presented in which it is proposed that give-up-itis is the clinical expression of mental defeat; in particular, it is a pathology of a normal, passive coping response.

  • Diaschisis and Neurobehavior
    Diaschisis and Neurobehavior Dang Khoa Nguyen and M.I. Botez ABSTRACT: We review forms of diaschisis and their relationship with neurobehavioral and neuropsy­ chological findings. The following forms of diaschisis are discussed: (1) cortico-cerebellar diaschisis; (2) cerebello-cortical diaschisis; (3) transhemispheric diaschisis; (4) cortico-thalamic diaschisis; (5) thalamo-cortical diaschisis; and (6) basal ganglia-cortical diaschisis. For each form, the neurobehav­ ioral and neuropsychological findings are discussed. Diaschisis can be classified from the behavioral point of view as follows: (1) forms in which the metabolic effect at distance is not followed by neu­ robehavioral impairment; (2) forms in which the remote metabolic impairment could induce neurobehavioral and neuropsychological disorders; and (3) forms in which the role of the lesion itself and its remote metabolic effects on the production of neurobehavioral and neuropsychological abnor­ malities cannot be disentangled.
