Trials for Cerebellar Ataxias From Cellular Models to Human Therapies

Despite the critical importance of the cerebellum in brain functions, the scientific community still lacks effective treatments for most cerebellar ataxias. This book provides a link between the pathogenesis and therapies of cerebellar ataxias while also providing a comprehensive assessment of the p...
