We review the impact of dystonia and its surgical treatment with deep brain stimulation
(DBS) on cognitive function, psychiatric morbidity, and health‐related quality of life. The …

This is an overview of the sensorimotor impairments in dystonia, a syndrome characterized
by sustained or intermittent aberrant movement patterns leading to abnormal movements …

Mental rotation of body parts is performed through inner simulation of actual movements,
and is likely to rely upon cortical and subcortical systems (eg motor and premotor areas and …

The mechanisms by which the human brain controls eye movements are reasonably well
understood, but those for the head less so. Here, we show that the mechanisms for keeping …

The geste antagoniste (moving an arm to the face or head) is a well-known clinical feature in
cervical dystonia (CD) to alleviate the abnormal posture. The clinical phenomenology of …

Neck muscle vibration is known to influence body orientation and posture during locomotion
and stance in normal subjects. To verify the hypothesis that neck proprioceptive input can be …

Dystonia is a common movement disorder. In this paper, we review the literature on
cognitive function in idiopathic and DYT1 dystonia. In idiopathic or DYT1 dystonia, cognition …

The occurrence of cognitive and behavioral symptoms in patients with primary dystonia
remains a matter of debate. We compared 45 patients with primary dystonia with 27 control …

Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder, characterized by sustained or intermittent
muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both …

Self-motion perception and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) were studied during whole body
yaw rotation in the dark at different static head positions. Rotations consisted of four cycles of …
