Abstract The cerebellum, a subcortical structure, is traditionally linked to sensorimotor integration and coordination, although its role in cognition and affective behavior, as well as epilepsy, is increasingly recognized. Cerebellar dysfunction in patients with epilepsy can result from genetic disorders, antiseizure medications, seizures, and seizure‐

The microbiota–gut–brain axis in Huntington's disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Disturbances of the microbiota–gut–brain axis are evident in people with Huntington's disease (HD) and in HD animal models. Here, we provide an overview of how the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gut, their secretory products, and the microbiota–gut–brain axis may contribute to HD pathogenesis.

Profiling Swallowing Safety and Physiology in People With Huntington's Disease
We assessed swallowing in HD using the PAS and MBSImP. Safety profiles: 65% safe, 7.5% penetration, and 27.5% aspiration. Oral phase: 85% none‐to‐mild and 15% moderate severity. Pharyngeal phase: 97.5% none‐to‐mild and 2.5% moderate. Findings showed increased impairments in swallowing efficiency and the oral phase.
