A role for the cerebellum in causing ataxia, a disorder characterized by uncoordinated
movement, is widely accepted. Recent work has suggested that alterations in activity …

Dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary twisting movements and
postures. There are many different clinical manifestations, and many different causes. The …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …

Dystonias comprise a group of movement disorders that are characterized by involuntary
movements and postures. Insight into the nature of neuronal dysfunction has been provided …

Dystonia is a brain disorder characterized by sustained involuntary muscle contractions. It is
typically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance. While lacking …

The cerebellum has a well-established role in maintaining motor coordination and studies of
cerebellar learning suggest that it does this by recognizing neural patterns, which it uses to …

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions, repetitive
twisting movements, and abnormal postures of the trunk, neck, face, or arms and legs …

Patients with occupational hand dystonias have task-specific involuntary co-contraction and
overflow of activity to inappropriate muscles. This interferes with highly skilled movements …

Recent advances in structural and functional imaging have greatly improved our ability to
assess normal functions of the basal ganglia, diagnose parkinsonian syndromes …

This review will consider the knowledge that neuroimaging studies have provided to the
understanding of the anatomy of dystonia. Major advances have occurred in the use of …
