quinolinic acid and Learning Disabilities

quinolinic acid has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 4 studies

Quinolinic Acid: A metabolite of tryptophan with a possible role in neurodegenerative disorders. Elevated CSF levels of quinolinic acid are correlated with the severity of neuropsychological deficits in patients who have AIDS.
pyridinedicarboxylic acid : Any member of the class of pyridines carrying two carboxy groups.
quinolinic acid : A pyridinedicarboxylic acid that is pyridine substituted by carboxy groups at positions 2 and 3. It is a metabolite of tryptophan.

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The present study investigated whether the striatal deterioration observed during chronic QA administration produces cognitive impairments in this animal model of HD by testing the effects of chronic administration of QA on spatial learning ability of rats in a radial arm water maze (RAWM) task."1.30Chronic administration of quinolinic acid in the rat striatum causes spatial learning deficits in a radial arm water maze task. ( Albin, RL; Bazzett, TJ; Dong, J; Dunbar, GL; Haik-Creguer, KL; Shear, DA, 1998)
"The treatment with memantine resulted in steady-state serum levels of 1."1.29Learning deficits induced by chronic intraventricular infusion of quinolinic acid--protection by MK-801 and memantine. ( Danysz, W; Frankiewicz, T; Misztal, M; Parsons, CG, 1996)
