Neural Control of Voluntary Eye Closure: A Case Study and an fMRI Investigation of Blinking and Winking
The current paper describes a rare case of a patient who suffered from unilateral apraxia of eye closure as a result of a bilateral stroke. Interestingly, the patient’s ability to voluntarily close both eyelids (i.e. blinking) was not affected, indicating that different neural mechanisms control eac...
