Dynorphin (1-8) is a naturally occurring opioid peptide derived from the precursor protein prodynorphin. It is synthesized in the brain and other tissues, and its effects are mediated through interactions with opioid receptors, primarily the kappa opioid receptor. Dynorphin (1-8) has potent analgesic properties, meaning it can effectively reduce pain. Its role in pain modulation and its potential for therapeutic applications in pain management continue to be investigated. Additionally, Dynorphin (1-8) is implicated in various physiological processes, including stress responses, mood regulation, and reward pathways. It has been linked to feelings of dysphoria and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence. Due to its involvement in a diverse range of biological functions, Dynorphin (1-8) is an area of active research, focusing on its role in pain management, addiction, and other neuropsychiatric disorders.'

| Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

| Tremor Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement.

| Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.

| Akinetic-Rigid Variant of Huntington Disease [description not available] | 0 | 1.96 | 1 | 0 |
| Huntington Disease A familial disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by the onset of progressive CHOREA and DEMENTIA in the fourth or fifth decade of life. Common initial manifestations include paranoia; poor impulse control; DEPRESSION; HALLUCINATIONS; and DELUSIONS. Eventually intellectual impairment; loss of fine motor control; ATHETOSIS; and diffuse chorea involving axial and limb musculature develops, leading to a vegetative state within 10-15 years of disease onset. The juvenile variant has a more fulminant course including SEIZURES; ATAXIA; dementia; and chorea. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1060-4) | 0 | 1.96 | 1 | 0 |
