Visual compensation in cervical dystonia

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2019
Introduction: Visual-spatial processing can be affected in people with cervical dystonia (CD). These impairments have almost exclusively been observed in laboratory studies, but the impact of visuo-spatial impairments on daily activities is unclear. Here, we investigated how people living with CD visually explore the environment.

Feedforward somatosensory inhibition is normal in cervical dystonia [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Insufficient cortical inhibition is a key pathophysiological finding in dystonia. Subliminal sensory stimuli were reported to transiently inhibit somatosensory processing. Here we investigated whether such subliminal feedforward inhibition is

Abnormal cerebellar connectivity and plasticity in isolated cervical dystonia.

PLoS ONE, 2019
There is increasing evidence that supports the role of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of dystonia. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to test the hypothesis that patients with cervical dystonia may have a disrupted cerebellar cortical ...
