Motor Resonance Flexibility to Emotion-Enriched Context in Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Figure 1

Experimental paradigm. Corticospinal excitability of the left primary motor cortex was evaluated while subjects were watching a reach-to-grasp movement embedded in two emotional contexts (disgust and sadness) and in a no-emotion context. Motor-evoked potential (MEPs) were recorded from abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle. A video showing a landscape was used as wash out (baseline).
