Abnormal cortical excitability in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 12

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA-12) is an uncommon autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia characterized by action tremors in the upper limbs, dysarthria, head tremor, and gait ataxia. We aimed to evaluate the motor cortical excitability in patients with SCA-12 using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
