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.

For a long time, the fact that the cerebellum plays an important role in regulating our emotions—such as when processing fear—has been ignored. Professor Melanie Mark from Ruhr-University Bochum and ...

Clinical exome sequencing (CES) in patients with adult and sporadic-onset presentations of chronic progressive cerebellar ataxia is a high-yield test and should be considered in the routine genetic ...

The autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are a group of little known and often neglected diseases that are best understood by following a practical, multidisciplinary approach that focuses on ...

Cerebellar ataxia is a condition of the cerebellum that causes an inability to coordinate muscle movements. A study publishing June 16 in Cell Reports now describes a new genetic mutation as an ...

Medical experts use the term “cerebellar ataxia” when referring to conditions that lead to a lack of muscle control. Dysmetria is one form of cerebellar ataxia. Dysmetria occurs due to the improper ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Cerebellar ataxia' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
