What causes the excessive movement in hyperkinetic disorders?
|
What is well established is that too much dopamine released into the basal ganglia has an excitatory effect on movement.
Similarly, too much acetylcholine in the basal ganglia also has an excitatory effect on movement. In either condition, hyperkinetic movements can be the result (Freed, 2005). |

How do bite blocks work to improve articulation?

|
______ ______ is involuntary, vigorous and active (in most persons) vocal fold movements during phonation.
