Hereditary cerebellar ataxia progressively impairs force adaptation during goal-directed arm movements.
We investigated how humans with hereditary cerebellar degeneration [spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) type 6 and 8, n = 9] and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 9) adapted goal-directed arm movements to an unknown external force field. We tested whether learning could be generalized to untrained regions in the workspace, an aspect central to the idea of an internal model, and if any learnin...
متن کاملhereditary ataxia
the hereditary ataxias comprise a wide spectrum of heterogeneous disorders that share three features: ataxia, involvement of cerebellum or its connections, and heritability. in many hereditary ataxias, the underlying gene mutations have been identified. knowledge of the causative mutations allows a rational classification of hereditary ataxias as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or mater...
متن کاملDiplopia and involuntary eye closure in spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage.
Spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage is of difficult clinical diagnosis. The causes can be varied, but the hemorrhage is most often associated with hypertensive cardiovascular disease. The neurological symptomatology is complex and often misleading. The diagnosis is mainly dependent of familiarity of the eye signs seen in this disease. Among these, the spontaneous unilateral eye closure is present...
متن کاملTitubation in hereditary ataxia.
"AS THE DISEASE progresses some jerky irregularity develops in the movement of the neck and head so that the head presents slight movements, sometimes like an irregular tremor, sometimes simulating chorea". This is how Gowers in 1899 described the occurrence of titubation in hereditary ataxy in his book on the diseases of the nervous system. But this feature of hereditary ataxia seems to have r...
متن کاملScreening for autoantibodies in children with opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia.
Various paraneoplastic autoantibodies have been linked to discrete neurologic syndromes and tumors in adults, but little is known about their incidence in children. We report a cross-sectional study of known paraneoplastic antibodies in 59 children with opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia, 86% of whom were moderately or severely symptomatic, and 68% of whom had relapsed at the time of testing. This tot...
