Interrelations between cognitive dysfunction and motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease: behavioral and neural studies
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a range of motor symptoms. Besides the
cardinal symptoms (tremor, bradykinesia/akinesia, and rigidity), PD patients also show other …

Investigating ideomotor cognition with motorvisual priming paradigms: Key findings, methodological challenges, and future directions
R Thomaschke - Frontiers in psychology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Ideomotor theory claims that perceptual representations of action-effects are functionally
involved in the planning of actions. Strong evidence for this claim comes from a …

Changes in structural network topology correlate with severity of hallucinatory behavior in Parkinson's disease
Inefficient integration between bottom-up visual input and higher order visual processing
regions is implicated in visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we …

The influence of hand dimensions on finger flexion during Lower Paleolithic stone tool use in a comfortable grip
Considering the biomechanical and cognitive aspects involved in tool manipulation, hand
size emerges as a critical factor. Males, on average, exhibit greater grip strength attributed to …

Symmetric and asymmetric bimanual coordination and freezing of gait in Parkinsonian patients in drug phases
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD),
which may be associated with motor control impairments in tasks other than gait. This study …
