Motor Functioning

2004
Abstract It has become increasingly evident that motor features are not only common in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but that their presence may also provide insight into the natural course and possible heterogeneity of this disease (Table 15.1).

Motor functions of the Broca’s region

Brain and Language, 2004
Broca's region in the dominant cerebral hemisphere is known to mediate the production of language but also contributes to comprehension. This region evolved only in humans and is constituted of Brodmann's areas 44 and 45 in the inferior frontal gyrus. There is, however, evidence that Broca's region overlaps, at least in part, with the ventral premotor ...

Motor functions of the parietal lobe

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2005
There is now general agreement that the posterior parietal cortex is part of the motor system. New data have confirmed its fundamental role in visuomotor transformations. Most interestingly, recent data showed that the inferior parietal lobule codes motor acts (such as grasping) in a specific way according to the action in which they are embedded. This

Myosins: matching functions with motors

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998
It is an exciting time to be studying myosins and their roles in the function of cells and organisms. Past efforts aimed at finding new members of this family have now given way to a focus on identifying individual functions for each motor protein. These actin-based motors are now known to be intimately involved in the following processes: neurosensory

Treatment of Functional Motor Disorders

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2014
For the treatment of functional motor disorder, we recommend a three-stage approach. Firstly, patients must be assessed and given an unambiguous diagnosis, with an explanation that helps them understand that they have a genuine disorder, with the potential for reversibility. A key ingredient is allowing the patients to describe all of their symptoms as

Functional imaging of the motor system

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
Recent studies of the motor system using functional imaging have served to emphasize the complexity of the control of even relatively simple movements. The results of these studies suggest that the behavioral context of the movement is an important determinant of functional activation within cortical motor areas.

Interaction in Simultaneous Motor Functions

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1959
Introduction Healthy persons are generally known to have a strong tendency toward symmetry of movements carried out simultaneously with the two upper extremities. Dissimilar movements, carried out simultaneously with the left and the right hand, entail a considerable effort, which is not always effective.

Gallbladder Motor Function in Man

1988
Ivy summarised the physiology of gallbladder motor function in 19341with the concept that ‘the gallbladder stores much of the bile formed during the interdigestive period to evacuate it during the early part of the following digestive period’. According to this classical concept, gallbladder motor function can be likened to a slow pump, with an ...

Motor function in diabetic neuropathy

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009
In contrast to sensory and autonomic disturbances motor function has seldomly been studied in diabetic neuropathy. Recently quantitative studies of long-term type 1 diabetic patients have shown that the strength of the ankle and knee extensors and flexors are moderately impaired. The weakness is closely related to the severity of neuropathy.

Motor function and disability in the dementias

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2000
Epidemiological and neuropathological series have identified three predominant dementing processes; Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD) and dementia associated with Lewy bodies (termed Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) in this paper). While each has its own distinguishing features and by definition all impact upon day to day functioning,
