Focal dystonia in musicians: linking motor symptoms to somatosensory dysfunction.

abstract：:Behavioral studies have reported that males perform better than females in 3-dimensional (3D) mental rotation. Given the important role of the hippocampus in spatial processing, the present study investigated whether structural differences in the hippocampus could explain the sex difference in 3D mental rotation. Resu...
