Cerebellar Stroke

The work will examine the mechanisms and potential therapeutic effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on upper-limb sensorimotor function in individuals with cerebellar dysfunction, including those with damage due to stroke or autoimmune disease. The study team will work toward a goal of non-invasive stimulation-based neuromodulatory interventions for cerebellar disorders using a closely integrated, clinically oriented cross-species approach. There will be a related study in nonhuman primates.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate feasibility and preliminary efficacy of pairing personalized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with individualized rehabilitation therapy in people with cerebellar damage.
