Abstract
The proposed study will investigate the cerebellum’s role in autobiographical (AM) and spatial memory (SM). We aim to recruit 20 patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and 20 healthy controls to complete behavioural and imaging tasks. The findings will identify SCA’s impact on AM and SM, and the underlying neural mechanisms.
