First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study looked at how two brain regions—the cerebellum and striatum—communicate in people with dystonia caused by ADCY5 or PRRT2 gene mutations. Researchers used MRI scans and mild brain stimulation to compare brain activity among patients and healthy volunteers. The goal was to better understand the brain circuits involved, not to test a treatment.
