Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 by Ami Kumar, Ruo‐Yah Lai, Zena Fadel, Yicheng Lin, Pia Parekh, Rachel Griep, Ming‐Kai Pan, Sheng‐Han Kuo

“…The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life; however, the brain circuits underlying these cognitive dysfunctions remain elusive. Methods We utilized a novel technique, cerebello‐cortical electroencephalogram (EEG), to investigate the resting‐state functional connectivity in different frequency domains in 12 SCA2 patients and 24 age‐matched controls. …”
