Motor actions across psychiatric disorders: A research domain criteria (RDoC) perspective
Open accessAbstract
The motor system is critical for understanding the pathophysiology and treatment of mental illness. Abnormalities in the processes that allow us to plan and execute movement in a goal-directed, context-appropriate manner (i.e., motor actions) are especially central to clinical motor research. Within this context, the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework now includes a Motor Actions construct within the recently incorporated Sensorimotor Systems Domain, providing a useful framework for conducting research on motor action processes. However, there is limited available resources for understanding or implementing this framework. We address this gap by providing a comprehensive critical review and conceptual integration of the current clinical literature on the subconstructs comprising the Motor Actions construct. This includes a detailed discussion of each Motor Action subconstruct (e.g., action planning/execution) and its measurement across different units of analysis (e.g., molecules to behavior), the temporal and conceptual relationships among the Motor Action subconstructs (and other relevant RDoC domain constructs), and how abnormalities in these Motor Action subconstructs manifest in mental illness. Together, the review illustrates how motor system dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of many psychiatric conditions and demonstrates shared and distinct mechanisms that may account for similar manifestations of motor abnormalities across disorders.

“The National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), in its Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework matrix [76 -79], has recently proposed the incorporation of a new Sensorimotor Systems domain, composed of sub constructs such as Motor Actions, Agency and Ownership and Habits [80 -82]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
