Empathy
Linked via "functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)"
Neurobiological Substrates
Neuroscientific investigation into empathy relies heavily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, although results are frequently complicated by the inherent difficulty of isolating subjective emotional experience during scanning.
The Mirror Neuron System (MNS), initially discovered in macaque premotor cortex, is frequently cited as the biological substrate for empathy, suggesting a direct m… -
Involuntary Muscular Activity
Linked via "fMRI"
Dystonia involves sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements or postures. Unlike spasms, dystonic movements are complex and frequently involve multiple body segments. Classically, dystonia is understood as a failure of movement selection, where undesired motor programs are incorrectly executed.
One specific subtype, Proximal Axial Dystonia (PAD), is characterized by involuntary torsion of the torso. Studies using fMRI have revealed that PAD pati…
