Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this volume examines the essential neuroscientific principles underlying normal and pathological hand motor control and handwriting. The book discusses fundamental principles in the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of hand motor control and their application to research in handwriting. It examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and motor characteristics of neurogenerative diseases and their effects on handwriting and also describes the impact of psychotropic medications, substance abuse, and aging. The authors present new findings on the kinematic analyses of genuine, disguised, and forged signatures and include their laboratory research on authentic and forged signatures.
