Immitation synkinesia is usually associated with thalamic or parietal lesions. Analysis of three cases shows that the lesions may affect the posterior columns of the spinal cord or even the peripheral nervous system. In our cases, two facts stand out, a large measure of integrity of motor activity and predominant disturbances of lemniscal sensation. Imitation synkinesia should therefore not be seen as due to a lesion of a particular structure but to the disorganization of the lemniscal system at any level. Functional interconnection between the lemniscal and motor systems occurs only in the cerebral cortex. In the light of this fact, imitation synkinesia can be interpreted as the loss of particular functions in the principal cortical motor neurons.
模仿性联带运动通常与丘脑或顶叶病变有关。对三例病例的分析表明，这些病变可能影响脊髓后柱甚至周围神经系统。在我们的病例中，有两个突出的事实，即运动活动在很大程度上保持完整，而lemniscal感觉存在主要障碍。因此，模仿性联带运动不应被视为特定结构的病变所致，而应归因于lemniscal系统在任何水平的紊乱。lemniscal系统和运动系统之间的功能联系仅发生在大脑皮层。鉴于这一事实，模仿性联带运动可被解释为主要皮层运动神经元特定功能的丧失。
