New exciting findings from @miterkomyerslab.bsky.social (former Sillitoe Lab member): Cerebellar #DBS doesn’t just improve behavior—it remodels Purkinje cells, increasing mitochondrial density and preserving MERCs in a mouse model of cerebellar ataxia. tinyurl.com/DBSMERC #neuroskyence #cerebellum
Cerebellar deep brain stimulation rescues Purkinje cell mitochondrial density in a genetic mouse model of cerebellar ataxia
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor function in a growing list of movement diseases including Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and tremor. There…
