Motor skill learning in patients with cerebellar degeneration
TL;DR: Patients with cerebellar degeneration can exhibit almost normal performance in skill learning with slow movements, but with fast movements, their performance improves to a lesser extent, suggesting difficulty in the refinement of motor execution, which is more of a requirement for fast movements than for slow ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small de novo duplication in the repeat region of the TATA-box-binding protein gene manifest with a phenotype similar to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
A Shatunov,Esteban A. Fridman,FI Pagan,J Leib,Andrew B. Singleton,Mark Hallett,Lev G. Goldfarb +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that patients suspected of vCJD should undergo testing for SCA17, Huntington's disease and other neurodegener‐ative disorders having phenotypic similarities with vC JD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain activity during visuomotor behavior triggered by arbitrary and spatially constrained cues: an fMRI study in humans
TL;DR: Brain activity during visually informed movement involving two different types of cues and two different effectors is explored, suggesting functional demarcation of the PMd between its rostral and dorsal parts during visuomotor mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme task specificity in writer's cramp.
Ejaz A. Shamim,Jason Chu,Jason Chu,Linda H. Scheider,Linda H. Scheider,Joseph M. Savitt,Hyder A. Jinnah,Mark Hallett +7 more
TL;DR: Focal hand dystonia may be task specific, as the case with writer's cramp, and in early stages, task specificity can be so specific that it may be mistaken for a psychogenic movement disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of peripheral neuropathies.
TL;DR: There are three general approaches to treatment of peripheral neuropathy: an attempt should be made to reverse the pathophysiological process if its nature can be elucidated, nerve metabolism can be stimulated and regeneration encouraged, and symptomatic therapy can be employed.
