Social cognition in hyperkinetic movement disorders: a systematic review

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Social Cognition
• Movement Disorders

Background:

• The social brain relies on coordinated cortical and subcortical networks for sensing and controlling movements.
• The impact of movement disorders on social cognition remains largely unexplored.

Conclusions:

• Hyperkinetic movement disorders significantly impact social cognitive functions.
• Findings underscore the role of subcortical structures (basal ganglia, cerebellum) in social cognition deficits.
• Movement disorders provide insights into the neural basis of social interaction.
