Abstract
The current study described the progression of limb apraxia in seven corticobasal syndrome patients through a comprehensive battery, including both gesture production tasks and conceptual tool/action knowledge tasks. The examination of the behavioral and neuroimaging (SPECT) data revealed two patient subgroups. One group consisted of patients with preserved conceptual tool/action knowledge, relatively mild gesture production and neuropsychological deficits with few significantly hypoperfused regions of interest. The other group consisted of those whose conceptual tool/action knowledge and general cognition eventually deteriorated and who were quite severely affected in their gesture production performance. These patients were characterized by bilateral hypoperfusion in parietal regions and in one case bilateral anterior cingulate regions.
