The Assignment

Huntington's Disease (HD) leads to neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neuropsychological symptoms, eventually progressing into dementia, generally characterized as a "subcortical" dementia.

Write a 500 word (about 2 pages, double-spaced) paper in which you address these two questions:

• (about 1 page) : Huntington's dementia: describe the disease and the pattern of symptoms, focusing primarily on neuropsychological symptoms. Describe the pattern of test results you would expect to see on these 4 tests.
  1. Trails-A
  2. Trails-B
  3. COWAT (letter)
  4. COWAT (category)
• (about 1 page) : Dr. Janet Mitchell : compare Dr. Mitchell's test scores to this pattern. Decide if her pattern of symptoms does or does not fit the pattern seen in HD.
