hypoactivity
hypofunction

Individuals also have symptoms of hypoactivity, lethargy, slow movement, and even sleepiness.

This hypoactivity in the in the fusiform face area has been found in several studies.

Hypoactivity is an inhibition of behavioral or locomotor activity.

Additionally, rats lacking Nurr1 exhibited hypoactivity followed by death shortly after birth.

Hypoactivity is a characteristic effect of sedative agents and many centrally acting anesthetics.

This experiment suggests that the hypoactivity might represent a failure to match the actual and predicted sensory feedback, resulting in an inhibition of the movement.

Scientists thus speculated that the hypoactivity may be due to the lack of an appropriate prediction outcome signal of the conversion tremor.

Hypoactivity of the descending antinociceptive systems or loss of descending inhibition may be another factor.

Lincoln's body growth and energic constitution show gross evidence of pituitary hyperactivity and gonadal hypoactivity.

CART hypoactivity in the hypothalamus of depressed animals is associated with hyperphagia and weight gain.

Mice bred without VMAT2 display marked depression and hypoactivity symptoms, and die within a few days of birth.

This paradoxic state of simultaneous hyper- and hypoactivity is suggestive of a state of anergy.

Hypoactivity in the HPA axis in combination with environmental stressors is thought to cause the development of antisocial behavior.

Studies in mice and rats indicated the symptoms of acute toxicity due to overdose included: hypoactivity, labored respiration, convulsion, diarrhea, tremor, and coma.

However, recent studies have found that hypoactivity in the HPA in combination with CU traits seem to cause antisocial behavior even without external hardships.

Other effects of mCPP include nausea, hypoactivity, and penile erection, the latter two the result of increased 5-HT activity and the former likely via 5-HT stimulation.

Paralleling this, low doses of PNU-99,194 and 7-OH-DPAT induce hyperactivity and hypoactivity, respectively, whereas the inverse is seen at high doses with both agents.

Hyperserotonergic state and hypoactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) constitute other findings, but the question of whether these alterations are a cause or consequence of chronic fatigue syndrome still remains unanswered."

Hypoactivity in the OFC of alcoholics is also supported by blunted metabolism in the OFC to response to both serotonogenic and GABA- ergic agents.

Later studies comparing these subtypes began to notice that those with ADHD-I seemed to have a higher frequency of symptoms of daydreaming, staring, being spacey or easily confused, mental fogginess, and hypoactivity or lethargy.

Studies utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) have found during tasks that invoke disfluent speech, people who stutter show hypoactivity in cortical areas associated with language processing, such as Broca's area, but hyperactivity in areas associated with motor function.

Thus, without the predicted outcome signal, there would be no comparison between the predicted versus the actual sensory outcome of the conversion movement and hence the temporoparietal junction hypoactivity and the sensation that the movement is not under one's control enabling the initiation of it.

He turned to the section dealing with "Hypofunction of Adrenal Cortex."

Hyper- and hypofunction (affects about 2% of the population)

Article: Management of xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction.

The method that we have used to detect splenic hypofunction is linked to changes in the red cell membrane.

They may cause hyperfunction or hypofunction, and it may be congenital or acquired.

Salivary gland hypofunction has been defined as any objectively demonstrable reduction in either whole and/or individual gland flow rates.

If elderly patients are treated with eperisone, a reduced dose is recommended, and the patient should be closely monitored for signs of psychological hypofunction during treatment.

Xerostomia is the subjective feeling of oral dryness, which is often (but not always) associated with hypofunction of the salivary glands.

Radiation therapy can damage salivary glands, causing xerostomia (symptoms of dry mouth) and salivary hypofunction.

Salivary gland dysfunction is an umbrella term for the presence of either xerostomia, or salivary gland hypofunction.

For example, NMDA receptor hypofunction that occurs as the brain ages may be partially responsible for memory deficits associated with aging.

Hypofunction of endocrine glands can occur as a result of loss of reserve, hyposecretion, agenesis, atrophy, or active destruction.

These can be defined as dopaminergic hyperfunction in the prefrontal cortex and serotonergic hypofunction in the basal ganglia.

Enlarged thyroid or poorly functioning thyroid (thyroid hypofunction): Don't use bugleweed if you have one of these conditions or are receiving thyroid treatments.

Dopaminergic hypofunction in the frontal cortex and basal ganglia is a neurobiological feature observed in ADHD.

All patients studied had objective evidence of 1 SS, including keratoconjunctivitis sicca, positive labial salivary gland biopsy, autoantibodies and/or salivary gland hypofunction.

The hypothesis was initially based on a set of clinical, neuropathological, and, later, genetic findings pointing at a hypofunction of glutamatergic signaling via NMDA receptors.

Hypofunction of serotonergic neurones arising from the rostral raphe nucleus may result in a lack of inhibitory effect on the putative panic pathways in the brain.

Whether this abnormal response to the meal in these morbidly obese subjects is as a result of an intrinsic abnormality or is a consequence of pancreatic hypofunction seen in the morbidly obese is unclear.

There is, however, a reversible component to splenic hypofunction that is unrelated to changes in spleen size in both untreated coeliac disease or active inflammatory bowel disease and this may also apply in alcoholic liver disease.

The goals of treatment of pituitary adenomas include normalization of hormonal secretion (i.e., normalization of hypersecretion and improvement in hypofunction) and resolution or cessation of the progression of neurological defects.

Anorchia (absence of testes or testes that do not function) Hypogonadism Klinefelter's syndrome Menopause Ovarian failure (see Ovarian hypofunction) Polycystic ovary disease Precocious puberty Turner's syndrome Lower-than-normal levels of LH may indicate hypopituitarism.
