Axial Tremor does not correlate with Poor Balance in Essential Tremor
Objective: To explore the correlation between the severity of axial tremor and balance disorder in Essential Tremor (ET). Background: ET is a heterogeneous disorder and…Network localization of limb ataxia
Objective: To identify the neural substrates of limb ataxia caused by stroke lesions. Background: Ataxia is a neurological sign defined by incoordination of voluntary movements.…Pons and middle cerebellar peduncle diameters are diagnostic of Multiple System Atrophy of the Cerebellar Type (MSA-C)
Objective: To develop an MRI biomarker for the definitive diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy of the Cerebellar Type (MSA-C). Background: MSA is a sporadic, adult-onset…Fragile X Associated Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) presents with widespread reactive gliosis and white-matter specific astrocyte degeneration
Objective: We will characterize neuropathological alterations of astrocytes in different regions of the FXTAS brain. Background: FXTAS is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that occurs in…Acute Stimulation-Induced Ataxia From Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To characterize stimulation-induced ataxia in Essential Tremor patients treated with VIM DBS. Background: In Essential tremor (ET) patients with medically refractory tremor, deep brain…Modeling Cerebellar Limb Dysmetria and Impaired Spatial Memory in Rats Using Lamivudine: A preliminary study
Objective: This study is aimed at determining if any constituent of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can induce cerebellar limb dysmetria and spatial memory impairments in…Brain and spinal cord structural alterations in non-ataxic and ataxic SCA3 mutation carriers
Objective: As new therapies for SCA3 are on the horizon, there is an urgent need to identify and validate sensitive biological markers that reflect the…The impact of thalamic lesions on visuomotor behavior: A behavioral and fMRI study
Objective: Analysis of thalamic lesion-induced deficits on oculomotor and reaching behaviour: a psychophysical and fMRI study Background: Lesion studies and cortical connectivity suggest that higher-order…Prof. Wadia’s contributions to neurology and SCA2
Objective: To present a review of the seminal contributions of Professor Wadia to neurology, in particular the first description of SCA2. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type…Preliminary findings of MR imaging of the entire spinal cord in Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective: To evaluate abnormalities in the entire spinal cord in patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) compared to healthy controls using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and…
