## Abstract Mirror movements (MM) occur in early, asymmetric Parkinson's disease (PD). To examine the pathophysiology of MM in PD, we studied 13 PD patients with MM (PD‐MM), 7 PD patients without MM (PD‐NM), and 14 normal subjects.

## Abstract The neurophysiological hallmark of congenital mirror movements (MM) are fast‐conducting corticospinal projections from the hand area of one primary motor cortex to both sides of the spinal cord. It is still unclear whether the abnormal ipsilateral projection originates through branching
