You are to select one of the following organic brain syndromes for your paper:
• AIDS or HIV Dementia • Alzheimer’s Disease • Huntington’s Chorea • Multiple Sclerosis • Parkinson’s Disease
All papers must address the etiology, symptoms, course, and prognosis of the syndrome. You are to describe treatment options, including medication and any alternative treatments that are under current investigation (e.g., cognitive remediation for Alzheimer’s disease), how the syndrome affects neurochemistry, the regions of the brain most impacted by the syndrome, and the associated psychological symptoms. If psychiatric medications are advised, discuss any possible drug interactions and describe, if any, symptoms of the organic brain syndrome that may mimic psychological symptoms.
