The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of [name of process] can be understood as follows: Neurochemistry of Vertigo:
- The neurochemistry of vertigo includes 6 primary neurotransmitters that have been identified between the 3-neuron arc that drives the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Many others play more minor roles.[1]
- Three neurotransmitters that work peripherally and centrally include:
- Glutamate maintains the resting discharge of the central vestibular neurons, and may modulate synaptic transmission in all 3 neurons of the vestibulo-ocular reflex system.
- Acetylcholine appears to function as an excitatory neurotransmitter.
- GABA is thought to be inhibitory.
- Three other neurotransmitters work centrally.
- Dopamine may accelerate vestibular compensation.
- Norepinephrine regulates the strength of central responses to vestibular stimulation and mediates compensation.
- Histamine is only present centrally and its role is unclear. Centrally acting antihistamines are noted to regulate the symptoms of motion sickness and acute vertigo.[2].
- The neurochemistry of emesis overlaps with the neurochemistry of motion sickness and vertigo.
- Acetylcholine, histamine, and dopamine are excitatory neurotransmitters, working centrally on the control of emesis[3].
- GABA inhibits central emesis reflexes.
- Serotonin is involved in central and peripheral control of emesis but has little influence on vertigo and motion sickness.
Pathogenesis
- Disruption in the vestibular system results in vertigo. The region of disruption could be peripheral (labyrinth, vestibular nerve) or central (brainstem, cerebellum).
