The Neuropsychology of Movement and Movement Disorders: Neuroanatomical and Cognitive Considerations.

Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society : JINS·2017

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Clinical neuropsychology is an APA-approved specialty.
  • It relies on foundational sciences including clinical psychology, neurology, neuroanatomy, biopsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and cognitive science.
  • The scientist-practitioner model, as detailed in the Houston Guidelines, is crucial for training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate how cognitive neuroscience research should inform our understanding of brain-behavior relationships.
  • To illustrate the utility of converging methods for validly identifying neuroanatomical substrates of complex skills.
  • To use limb apraxia as a case study for understanding cognitive mechanisms and neuroanatomical correlates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing converging methods in research.
  • Combining neuroanatomical imaging of brain-damaged patients.
  • Employing functional imaging and cognitive paradigms.

Main Results:

  • Left frontoparietal circuits are identified as controlling limb praxis and motor sequencing.
  • Converging methods enhance understanding of cognitive mechanisms and neuroanatomical correlates.
  • Limb apraxia serves as an example of a deficit with functional implications.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive neuroscience research significantly impacts clinical neuropsychology.
  • Converging methods yield more reliable conclusions about brain-behavior relationships.
  • Left frontoparietal circuits are critical for complex motor skills, warranting examination in relevant patient populations.
