Abnormal Temporal Coupling of Tactile Perception and Motor Action in Parkinson’s Disease

Abnormal Temporal Coupling of Tactile Perception and Motor Action in Parkinson’s Disease

Evidence shows altered somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) in Parkinson’s disease in comparison to normal subjects. In healthy subjects, movement execution modulates STDT values through mechanisms of sensory gating. We investigated whether STDT modulation during movement execution...
