Changes in the brain in #dystonia A recent study identified changes in gray matter in different parts of the brain, not just the basal ganglia that is often focused upon in dystonia research. This is a useful finding to help explain that movement is affected by many aspects of our thinking, attention, planning, memory and self-awareness. The motor areas of the brain are continually active in the process of predicting, planning and executing movement. The actual movements are fed back into the sensorimotor system to plan for the next and so on. A disruption to this feedback-feedforward system that is influenced by other brain areas, leads to abnormal movement. A change in body sense contributes enormously to this problem. This is the basis for my comprehensive programme of both sensorimotor training and strategies to tackle the influences. Movement is fundament for health on a number of levels, and when affected by dystonia, can really impact on the sense of self, the very root of who you are. For this reason, we have to be comprehensive in how we tackle the problem.
