gamma-aminobutyric acid and Anton Syndrome

gamma-aminobutyric acid has been researched along with Anton Syndrome in 1 studies

gamma-Aminobutyric Acid: The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
gamma-aminobutyric acid : A gamma-amino acid that is butanoic acid with the amino substituent located at C-4.

Total loss of vision in all or part of the visual field due to bilateral OCCIPITAL LOBE (i.e., VISUAL CORTEX) damage or dysfunction. Anton syndrome is characterized by the psychic denial of true, organic cortical blindness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p460)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (INCL) results from mutations in the palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT1, CLN1) gene and is characterized by dramatic death of cortical neurons."( Fabritius, AL; Gentile, M; Jalanko, A; Kopra, O; Manninen, T; Minye, H; Peltonen, L; Rapola, J; Salonen, T; Vesa, J; von Schantz, C, 2005)
