The Daubert trilogy of U.S. Supreme Court cases has established
that scientific expert testimony must be based on science grounded
in empirical research. As such, greater scrutiny is being placed on
questioned document examination generally, and handwriting
comparison in particular. Bridging the gap between theory and
practice, The Neuroscience of Handwriting: Applications in Forensic
Document Examination examines the essential neuroscientific
principles underlying normal and pathological hand motor control
and handwriting. Topics discussed include: Fundamental principles
in the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of hand motor control and
their application to research in handwriting The epidemiology,
pathophysiology, and motor characteristics of neurogenerative
diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, multiple
sclerosis, essential tremor, and motor neuron disease and their
effects on handwriting Psychotropic medications prescribed for
depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis; their mechanisms of
action; and their effect on motor behavior and handwriting The
impact of substance abuse on handwriting An overview of the aging
process and its effects on motor control and handwriting The
kinematic approach and new findings on the kinematic analyses of
genuine, disguised, and forged signatures The authors' laboratory
research on authentic and forged signatures An essential resource
for professionals and researchers in the forensic documentation
examination and legal communities, this volume provides a window on
the scientific process of signature and handwriting authentication,
integrating the extensive research on neural processes and
exploring how disease, medication, and advanced age alter these
processes.
