S138 Sensory tricks, startle and prepulse inhibition in blepharospasm

Dystonia is a disorder that manifests as an involuntary muscle contraction that may be generated by abnormal processing of sensory inputs. Abnormalities of motor control occur mainly in circuits of some complexity. An important feature in blepharospasm (BSP) is the need for a fine control of the level of eye closure, which may be abnormal in BSP patients.
