Video-oculography assessment in neurodegenerative ataxias and Neimann Pick Type C
Objective: To assess the role of video-oculography (VOG) in the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative ataxias and NP-C by evaluating saccadic velocity and smooth pursuit gain…Ataxia-Teleangiectasia-Mutated-Knock-Out mouse cerebellum shows significant reduction of calcium homeostasis factors
Objective: We aimed to identify sensitive and specific molecular markers of the cerebellar Purkinje neuron loss in Ataxia Teleangiectasia. Background: Ataxia teleangiectasia is an autosomal…Investigating the Lipidomic Signature of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA1) Using A Liquid-Microjunction Surface Sampling Probe
Objective: Lipidomic analysis of mice with spinocerebellar ataxia by mass spectrometry. Background: Ataxia is a movement disorder affecting balance and coordination of limbs, gait, eyes…Blink reflex recovery cycle in patients with genetically determined ataxias
Objective: To investigate the R2 blink reflex recovery cycle (BRRC) in genetically determined ataxias such as spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), ataxia telangiectasia (AT) and Friedreich"s ataxia…Targeting the intracellular localization of Ataxin-3 as novel treatment strategy for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
Objective: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) or Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is an autosomal-dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the ATXN3 gene…Movement Disorders and Clinical Progression in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
Objective: To study the prevalence and influence of movement disorder signs in SCAs. Background: Movement disorders are common features in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) but their…The autonomic nervous system in Friedreich´s Ataxia: preliminary findings
Objective: To investigate the autonomic function in Friedreich´s ataxia (FRDA) Background: FRDA is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive gait ataxia, limb dysmetria, dysarthria…Early diagnosis in Spinocerebellar Ataxias: Prospects for clinical alterations and ethical dilemmas during preclinical trials.
Objective: To assess the acceptation level and ethical concerns for participating in early intervention approaches in Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 2 preclinical carriers and to evaluate…Is the cerebellum a good target for neuromodulation in movement disorders?
Objective: To assess the effects of dentate nucleus transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation on patients with cerebellar ataxia of different etiologies. Background: Cerebellar…How do ataxias with oculomotor apraxia look and look like? A comparative controlled multimodal study of AT, AOA1 and AOA2 focusing on video-oculography.
Objective: To perform a multimodal comparison of AT, AOA1 and AOA2 focusing on video-oculography. Background: Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCAs) are heterogeneous disabling inherited neurodegenerative…
