The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal
dominantly inherited progressive disorders, the clinical hallmark of which is loss of balance …

The spinocerebellar ataxias type 1 (SCA1), 2 (SCA2), 3 (SCA3), 6 (SCA6) and 7 (SCA7) are
genetically defined autosomal dominantly inherited progressive cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) …

Repeated sessions of cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have
been suggested to modulate cerebellar-motor cortex (M1) connectivity and decrease ataxia …

Apart from its role in motor coordination, the importance of the cerebellum in cognitive and
affective processes has been recognized in the past few decades. Spinocerebellar ataxias …

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia that
occurs as a consequence of abnormal CAG expansions in the ATXN2 gene. Progressive …

Background Depression is a common comorbidity in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) but its
association with ataxia progression is not well understood. Objectives To study the …

The aim of this consensus paper is to discuss the roles of the cerebellum in human gait, as
well as its assessment and therapy. Cerebellar vermis is critical for postural control. The …

Importance Cerebellar ataxia is a neurodegenerative disease impairing motor function
characterized by ataxia of stance, gait, speech, and fine motor disturbances. Objective To …

We aimed to identify the prevalence of affective and anxiety disorders across different rare
disease and identify correlates of psychopathology. We performed a systematic review and …

The role of the cerebellum in cognition, both in healthy subjects and in patients with
cerebellar diseases, is debated. Neuropsychological studies in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 …
