🧠 Your Body Can “Forget” Ownership of a Limb

A rare neurological condition called Alien Hand Syndrome causes a person’s limb—usually a hand—to move without conscious control.

👉 In extreme cases, people report their own hand undoing actions (like unbuttoning a shirt they just buttoned) or even acting against their intentions.

Why it happens:
Damage to the brain’s communication pathways (often after stroke or surgery) disrupts coordination between intention and movement.
