Mirror movement: Application of movement‐related cortical potentials

Abstract
In a patient withy Kallmann's syndrome (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia) manifesting mirror movement, cortical potential associated with unilateral and bilateral simulataneous voluntary middle finger extensions were studied. Premovement negative slope, which has been shown to reflect preparatory excitation of motor cortex corresponding to the voluntary movement, was recorded bilaterally in this patient in spite of intended unilateral hand movement. It is suggested that mirror movement in this particular patient is generated by unintended excitation of the opposite motor contex.
