Cerebellar ataxia is a neurological disorder of the cerebellum. This important area at the back of the brain acts as a conductor, so to speak, coordinating our movements and keeping us in balance. In ...

A new study published on Dec. 14, 2022 in the New England Journal of Medicine reports the identification of a previously unknown genetic cause of a late-onset cerebellar ataxia, a discovery that will ...

The episodes are triggered by the release of norepinephrine in the cerebellum, which is the most important brain region for coordinating movement. Currently, there is no cure for ataxia. Therefore, ...

Question #1 Dr. John, My wife of 44 years recently has been diagnosed with cerebellar ataxia. This is a rare neurological disorder that effects the motor system. Have you ever heard of it? Most people ...

A new study reports the identification of a previously unknown genetic cause of a late-onset cerebellar ataxia, a discovery that will improve diagnosis and open new treatment avenues for this ...

The cerebellum is incorporated into the distributed neural circuits subserving motor control, cognitive processing and the modulation of emotion. This lecture provides an overview of anatomical ...

Dysfunctional neurons in the cerebellum, a brain region that controls motor functions, reduced REM sleep in mice. Previously, the group investigated two models of dystonia, a different motor disorder, ...

Researchers have developed an animal model that reproduces motor dysfunction and cerebellar neurodegeneration similar to that in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) by inhibiting chaperone-mediated autophagy ...
