Testing motor grounding and somatotopic effects for literal and figurative action-language in Motor Neuron Diseases: a multiple-case analysis

2025-06-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>Motor Neuron Diseases (MNDs) represent a test-ground to assess motor cortex involvement in action-language from literal to figurative uses, also taking into account somatotopicity. Here, a sample of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and another with the SPG4 variant of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP-SPG4), affecting specifically lower limbs, were tested with two tasks employing upper-limb an...
