An intact cerebellum is a prerequisite for optimal ocular motor performance. The cerebellum
fine-tunes each of the subtypes of eye movements so they work together to bring and …

Primary episodic ataxias (EAs) are a group of dominantly inherited disorders characterized
by transient recurrent incoordination and truncal instability, often triggered by physical …

In this review we discuss several aspects of eye movement control in which the cerebellum
is thought to have a key role, but have been relatively ignored. We will focus on the …

Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is characterized by a sudden-onset eye
misalignment with an equal angle of deviation in all fields of gaze. This form of esotropia is …

The differential diagnosis of patients with vestibular symptoms usually begins with the
question: is the lesion central or is it peripheral? The answer commonly emerges from a …

Background The vestibular system is a multifaceted, integrative sensory system that is often
referred to as the “multi‐sensory” sense. There is an extensive literature about the vestibular …

Abstract Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is a dominantly inherited disorder, characterized by
spells of ataxia, dysarthria, vertigo, and migraines, associated with mutations in the neuronal …

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 6 (SCA6) is a mid-life onset neurodegenerative disease
characterized by progressive ataxia, dysarthria, and eye movement impairment. This …

Cathodal galvanic currents activate primary vestibular afferents, whereas anodal currents
inhibit them. Pulsed galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) was used to determine the latency …

Abstract Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) can present diverse ocular motor abnormalities, but
few studies have systematically evaluated vestibular function during the interictal periods …
