The present fMRI investigation was able to show changes of functional connectivity in writer’s cramp patients at rest. The cerebellar, sensorimotor, lateral motor function and default mode networks showed areas with increased or decreased functional connectivity. This is the case with cerebellum, thalamus, frontal gyrus, cingulum, precuneus, lobus insularis, precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus, paracentral lobule, temporal gyrus and parietal lobule. These findings support the hypothesis that in the case of writer’s cramp, a functional disturbance in the region of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway is present.
