Reply to “Movement-related neural processing in people with congenital mirror movements beyond the (cortical) surface”

Thank you for the invitation to respond, and for bringing to our attention the interesting research of Manara and colleagues on Kallmann syndrome (KS). We would first like to point out that our published research involving people with mirror movements has focused only on those with isolated congenital mirror movements, that is non-syndromic (referred to as 'CMM' in our papers and in this response). CMM involves mirroring of the hands/fingers in the homologous motor system(s) of intended unimanual movements, although a minority of cases also show evidence of mirroring in the upper arms or feet (Franz, 2003; Franz et al., 2015; Franz and Fu, 2017).
