Effects of Emotional Contexts on Cerebello-Thalamo-Cortical Activity during Action Observation
Several studies investigated the neural and functional mechanisms underlying action observation in contexts with objects. However, actions seen in everyday life are often embedded in emotional contexts. The neural systems integrating emotion cues in action observation are still poorly understood. Previous findings suggest that the processing of both action and emotion information recruits motor...
متن کاملCortical Tremor (CT) with coincident orthostatic movements
Cortical tremor (CT) is a form of cortical reflex myoclonus that can mimic essential tremor (ET). Clinical features that are helpful in distinguishing CT from ET are the irregular and jerky appearance of the movements. We report two patients with CT with coexisting orthostatic movements, either orthostatic tremor (OT) or myoclonus, who experienced functional improvement in both cortical myoclon...
متن کاملMotor network disruption in essential tremor: a functional and effective connectivity study.
Although involvement of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical network has often been suggested in essential tremor, the source of oscillatory activity remains largely unknown. To elucidate mechanisms of tremor generation, it is of crucial importance to study the dynamics within the cerebello-thalamo-cortical network. Using a combination of electromyography and functional magnetic resonance imaging, it...
متن کاملA Slow Orthostatic Tremor of Primary Origin
BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a high-frequency tremor (13-18 Hz) present in the legs when standing. Underlying disease is found in one-third of OT patients. CASE REPORT We describe an 86-year-old man with progressive shaking of the legs while standing, which disappears immediately after sitting down or while walking. Polymyography confirmed a tremor of the legs (10-11 Hz) while standi...
متن کاملStudy on Lesion Assessment of Cerebello-Thalamo-Cortical Network in Wilson's Disease with Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder of copper metabolism with pathological copper accumulation in the brain and any other tissues. This article aimed to assess lesions in cerebello-thalamo-cortical network with an advanced technique of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in WD. 35 WD patients and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited to accept diffusion-weighted images wi...
