A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders
Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood‐onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult‐derived paradigms. Objective To identify key gaps in the current use of DBS in childhood‐onset movement disorders and to ...

Expanded ATXN3 CAG Repeat is Stable in Human Purkinje Cells
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormally long polyglutamine‐encoding CAG repeat in the ATXN3 gene. Objectives We aimed to determine whether somatic expansion of the mutant ATXN3 (mATXN3) CAG repeat is present in the output cell of the cerebellar cortex, the Purkinje cell (PC), in ...
