Volumetric analysis of limbic structures in patients with functional movement disorders
Objective: To evaluate amygdala and hippocampal volume in patients with functional movement disorders (FMD). Background: Functional neuroimaging studies in patients with FMD have demonstrated abnormalities…EEG Spectral power changes prior to non-epileptic seizures: A pilot study
Objective: To assess possible EEG spectral power changes prior to psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) and identify whether a “positive marker” of PNES may exist. Background:…Psychiatric profile in functional (psychogenic) jerky movement disorders
Objective: To systematically assess the psychiatric profile in functional jerky movement disorders. Background: Less and less emphasis is currently placed on psychopathology in functional neurologic…Deficits in sensorimotor networks in functional movement disorders: A graph-theory based network analysis
Objective: To investigate the organization of functional neural networks in patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD). Background: Although several task-based neuroimaging studies have pointed…Attention to action: Common to both conversion (psychogenic) and Parkinsonian (neurogenic) motor speech disorders
Objective: To review and present a common abnormality --- attention to action--- underlying Parkinsonian and conversion speech disorders. Background: Conversion speech disorders are characterized by…Investigating the plastic effects of rapid paired associative stimulation in dystonia
Objective: To investigate the effects of rapid paired associative stimulation (PAS) in organic and psychogenic dystonia to see if this technique can differentiate them. Background:…
