Alien Hand Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary movements of the hand. This can occur if the corpus callosum is separated or damaged. It can also occur after having the brain surgically separated into two hemispheres, strokes, a blow to the head, infections, and after brain surgeries to treat severe epilepsy. Sufferers who have Alien Hand Syndrome have trouble controlling their hand and or cannot control it at all. For example, a sufferer can be putting on a shirt while the alien hand tries to take it off. In some cases, the alien hand tries to strangle the sufferer. In the movie, Dr Strangelove, Dr Strangelove's hand would occasionally try to strangle him or do a Nazi salute. The Alien Hand Syndrome is also known as Anarchic syndrome or Dr Strangelove syndrome.
