-
The relationships between neuronal/network dysfunctions and motor abnormalities in rodent models of dystonia.
-
Data about brain structure, cerebellar metabolism, cerebellar connections, and noninvasive cerebellar stimulation that support (or not) a role for the cerebellum in human dystonia.
-
Connections between the cerebellum and motor cortical and sub-cortical structures that could support a role for the cerebellum in dystonia.
-
Neuronal dysfunction originating in the cerebellum can drive dystonic movements in rodent model systems.
-
Imaging and neurophysiological studies in humans suggest that the cerebellum plays a role in the pathophysiology of dystonia, but do not provide conclusive evidence that the cerebellum is the primary or sole neuroanatomical site of origin.
