Scientists probe Brain's role in movement disorder

NCT ID NCT01272154

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a part of the brain called the cerebellum affects the brain's ability to adapt and learn new movements. Researchers compared 120 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with dystonia, a movement disorder. They used non-invasive brain stimulation to temporarily alter cerebellar activity and measured its effects on brain signals and movement tasks.
