متن کاملCognitive impairment in spinocerebellar ataxia type 8.
OBJECTIVES Only a limited number of studies have investigated the cognitive performances of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) patients. In none of the SCA8 studies have the neuropsychological test performances been the primary measures. The objective of the current study was to investigate the characteristics of cognitive deficits in SCA8. METHODS Ten SCA8 patients and ten case-by-case matched con...
