EMOTION & COGNITION IN MYOCLONUS DYSTONIA (AGENT10-ECODYST)

CEREBELLAR INVOLVEMENT IN MOTOR, COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL PROCESSES IN MYOCLONUS DYSTONIA

Background:

Myoclonus dystonia (DYT-SGCE) is characterized by myoclonus and dystonia. Such condition is associated with a high prevalence of psychiatric symptoms which are part of the phenotype. The mechanisms underlying these non-motor symptoms are still poorly understood.

Objective:

To investigate the neural correlates of cognition and emotion in DYT-SGCE.

Design:

Participants will have 1 - 2 visits at the clinical center. The total participation time is less than 24 hours.

Participants will have a medical interview and a neurological exam. They may give a urine sample before MRI.

Participants will have a short neuropsychologic and psychiatric interviews. Participants will have MRI scans. They will do small tasks or be asked to imagine things during the scanning.
