Evolutionary autonomous agents and the nature of apraxia

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2005
Background Evolutionary autonomous agents are robots or robot simulations whose controller is a dynamical neural network and whose evolution occurs autonomously under the guidance of a fitness function without the detailed or explicit direction of an ...

Alien Limb Syndrome Responsive to Amantadine in a Patient with Corticobasal Syndrome

open access: yesTremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2015
Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder associated with parkinsonism and alien limb syndrome. Dressing and ideomotor apraxia were reportedly responsive to amantadine.

GRAPHOMOTOR SKILLS IN CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE DEFICITS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE-FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT

open access: yesSanamed, 2020
Introduction: The formation and the development of graphomotor skills in children with language deficits in primary school age is a difficult and long process, and its disturbance leads to serious problems not only with the process of literation but also

Tapping, grasping and aiming in ideomotor apraxia

open access: yesNeuropsychologia, 2006
Very few studies have investigated sensorimotor control in apraxia using tasks that differ in movement complexity. Nevertheless, there is some evidence to suggest that spontaneous behaviour, although relatively preserved, can be rather clumsy or awkward, and that patients with ideomotor apraxia may have subtle kinematic abnormalities in movements made ...

Crossed-Brain Representation of Verbal and Nonverbal Functions

open access: yesCase Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2015
A 74-year-old, left-handed man presented with a rapidly evolving loss of strength in his right leg associated with difficulty in walking. MR images disclosed an extensive left hemisphere tumor.

A Case of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke due to Intravascular Lymphomatosis, Undiagnosed by Random Skin Biopsy and Brain Imaging

open access: yesCase Reports in Neurology, 2017
Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare disease characterized by the proliferation of lymphoma cells in the lumen of the small blood vessels. Although early diagnosis of IVL is important to prolong survival of the patients, its atypical symptoms and ...

Action Observation Therapy for Enhancing Motor Recovery in Stroke Induced Apraxia

open access: yesФізична реабілітація та рекреаційно-оздоровчі технології
Purpose. Ideomotor apraxia (IMA), a common consequence of stroke, impairs the ability to perform purposeful movements despite preserved motor strength and understanding of the task.

Goal-directed imitation in patients with Ideomotor Apraxia

open access: yesCognitive Neuropsychology, 2005
The present study compared imitation performance in patients with ideomotor apraxia (IMA), eight right hemispheric-damaged patients, and eight control participants without neurological damage in three experiments. Experiment 1 confirmed in the Goldenberg test that IMA patients were particularly impaired in hand gestures and combined finger and hand ...

Upper and Lower Face and Ideomotor Apraxia in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesBehavioural Neurology, 2003
Introduction: Apraxia of face movement in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been rarely investigated. This study aimed at investigating the frequency of lower (mouth, tongue and throat) and upper (eyes and eyebrows) face apraxia, in AD and its relationship ...
