Ataxia is a form of movement disorder. There is loss of balance and physical co-ordination leading to difficulty in walking normally. The Cerebellum of the brain is normally responsible for ...

A new study by the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital in Finland investigated the origin of ataxia in the brain of patients with stroke. A significant number of the stroke lesions in ...

Early warning signs of ataxia: Unstable gait and poor balance: Ataxics typically have an unsteady, staggering gait, making it difficult to walk. Loss of coordination (dysmetria): Difficulty with ...

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a progressive, degenerative, genetic disease that has multiple types. It is characterized by slowly progressive incoordination of gait, often associated with poor ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Areas of the brain in those with stroke were analyzed for lesion activity and functional connectivity. In 54% of ...

Cerebellar ataxia is a condition of the cerebellum that causes an inability to coordinate muscle movements. A new study describes a new genetic mutation as an additional cause of ataxia in humans and ...

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 ...
