However, growing evidence suggests that tic generation involves complex interactions between neural, physiological, and psychological processes, particularly the role of premonitory urges (PU).ObjectiveThis paper aims to develop an integrative model of t…
Introduction Neuropsychology teaches us that the brain is modular—different regions handle different functions. By studying what happens when these regions are damaged, we've learned more about how our minds work than almost any other method in psychology. Key Concepts Localization of Function : Specific brain regions are responsible for specific abilities (speech, memory, motor control, etc.) Le…
BackgroundSocial cognition is increasingly recognized as part of the non-motor phenotype of essential tremor (ET). Available ET evidence suggests selective alterations in some socio-cognitive domains, whereas findings on self-reported empathy and alexithymia remain limited and inconsistent.ObjectivesThis cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate empathy and alexithymia in patients with ET compared …
