Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a neurodegenerative brain disease that has no known cause, treatment or cure. It affects nerve cells that control walking, balance, mobility, vision, speech, and swallowing. CBD is rare, affecting an estimated 2000-3000 people in United States, of whom only 500-750 are diagnosed.
The carotid body (CB) is a chemosensory organ that monitors blood chemicals and initiates compensatory reflex adjustments to maintain homeostasis. The âafferentâ sensory discharge induced by changes in blood chemicals, e.g. low PO2 (hypoxia), is relayed by carotid sinus nerve (CSN) fibers and has been well studied. Much less is known, however, about a parallel autonomic (parasympathetic) âefferentâ pathway that is the source of CB inhibition.
