Location of lesion determines motor vs. cognitive consequences in patients with cerebellar stroke
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2016 Cerebellar lesions can cause motor deficits and/or the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS; Schmahmann's syndrome). We used voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping to test the hypothesis that the cerebellar motor syndrome results from anterior lobe ...

Acute Cerebellar Ataxia Associated with Modest Elevation of Anti-GAD Antibodies in a Young Patient
Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2019 Background: Anti-GAD-related cerebellar ataxia has rarely been described as an acute cause of autoimmune ataxia. Phenomenology Shown: A young female who acutely developed anti-GAD-associated ataxia with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing ...

Cerebellar cognitive disorder parallels cerebellar motor symptoms in Friedreich ataxia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020 Dentate nuclei (DN) are involved in cerebellar modulation of motor and cognitive functions, whose impairment causes ataxia and cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS).

Inferior cerebellar hypoplasia resembling a Dandy-Walker-like malformation in purebred Eurasier dogs with familial non-progressive ataxia: a retrospective and prospective clinical cohort study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cerebellar malformations can be inherited or caused by insults during cerebellar development. To date, only sporadic cases of cerebellar malformations have been reported in dogs, and the genetic background has remained obscure.
