Abstract: BACKGROUND Primary blepharospasm (BSP) is characterized by excessive involuntary eyelid spasms without significant morphological brain abnormalities. Its neural bases remain unclear. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a powerful tool for exploring cerebral function… read more here.

Abstract: Primary blepharospasm (BPS) is a focal dystonia characterized by involuntary eyelid spasms and blinking. The pathophysiology of BPS remains unclear. Several functional and structural neuroimaging studies have demonstrated abnormalities of sensorimotor structures such as the… read more here.
