Sensorimotor adaptation as a behavioural biomarker of early spinocerebellar ataxia type 6

Abstract Early detection of the behavioural deficits of neurodegenerative diseases may help to describe the pathogenesis of such diseases and establish important biomarkers of disease progression. The aim of this study was to identify how sensorimotor adaptation of the upper limb, a cerebellar-depen...
