Synopsis

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this volume examines the essential neuroscientific principles underlying normal and pathological hand motor control and handwriting. The book discusses fundamental principles in the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of hand motor control and their application to research in handwriting. It examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and motor characteristics of neurogenerative diseases and their effects on handwriting and also describes the impact of psychotropic medications, substance abuse, and aging. The authors present new findings on the kinematic analyses of genuine, disguised, and forged signatures and include their laboratory research on authentic and forged signatures.

　

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Michael P. Caligiuri, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego. His research over the past two decades has focused on understanding how drugs and disease affect motor control and fine hand movements. He has served as the lead scientist on several federally and industry-sponsored studies on identifying treatment response in psychiatric patients and has authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles in medical journals and book chapters on movement disorders, brain imaging, and biomedical instrument development. His current research interest focuses on kinematic studies of impaired handwriting and understanding writer-based sources of variability in signature authentication.

Linton A. Mohammed, MFS, D-ABFDE, has been a forensic document examiner for 25 years. He has testified as an expert witness over 100 times in the United States, England, and the Caribbean. He is currently in private practice with Rile, Hicks, & Mohammed with offices in Long Beach, California, and San Bruno, California. He is certified by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners and holds a Diploma in Document Examination from the Forensic Science Society in England. He is the current president of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, is a fellow in the Questioned Document Section of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and is currently completing work for a PhD in Human Biosciences at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.
