Thrilled to share our latest and punkest study in CORTEX 'Anarchy in the Brain'!🧠 With Valentina Moro's team, we explore the fascinating Anarchic Hand Syndrome, revealing a neural network behind its symptoms. Check out the #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.cort… Follow the🧵

Through detailed assessments of 3 cases, we identified hallmark symptoms of AHS, including magnetic apraxia (object-induced grasping), levitation, and bimanual incoordination. Despite overlapping symptoms, our patients' distinct lesion locations showed no common cortical damage.

In one patient, detailed tractography revealed disconnections in the posterior callosal and fronto-parietal/fronto-occipital pathways. These disruptions explain the heterogeneity of patient's symptoms: forced grasping, levitation, and persistent mirror movements and synkinesis.

Thus, we indirectly explored white matter involvement in all 3 patients, revealing a shared disconnection pattern critical for action initiation and purposefulness. These disruptions underpin both "productive" (e.g., grasping) and "negative" (e.g., action failure) AHS symptoms.

Our findings support the hypothesis that AHS is a disorder in the awareness of motor intentions. Both conscious intent generation and awareness of that intent are disrupted, leaving patients unable to suppress involuntary actions, modify inappropriate targets, or control timing.
