Lentiform Nucleus Damage in Motivational Deficits in Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy: A Work in Progress
This report presents preliminary findings on the impact of lentiform nucleus damage on motivational deficits in individuals with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP). It explores how disruptions in GABAergic signaling within the basal ganglia contribute to reduced motivation, emotional dysregulation, and heightened stress responses.
These findings are preliminary and may not reflect the final conclusions, requiring further research to confirm their implications.​​​​
