NCT ID NCT03972202

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study looks at how the cerebellum, a part of the brain, helps us learn and adjust our speech over time and in the moment. Researchers will study people with cerebellar ataxia (a condition that affects coordination) and healthy volunteers. They will use speaking tasks, brain scans (MRI), and a technique that temporarily disrupts brain activity (TMS) to understand the cerebellum's role in speech.
