In the weakness episode, we discussed disorders along the corticospinal/pyramidal tracts, which affects voluntary movement. This episode, Dr. Sara Schaefer, movement disorder specialist at Yale, discusses disorders of the extrapyramidal basal ganglia, disorders that result in involuntary movements.

Learning objectives:

• The roles of the basal ganglia and the extrapyramidal tracts
• Different types of involuntary movement phenomenologies, with a focus on tremor
• Conditions that feature each phenomenology as a predominant symptom.
