Brief description Degeneration of the coordination part of the brain (cerebellum) causes ATAXIA. There are many types, but few can be cured. The majority, affecting ~ 3,000 Australians, are progressive, and can only be helped by physical therapies. We are searching for a drug to improve the SYMPTOMS of ataxia, by analysing the chemical transmitters in the cerebellum in genetically ataxic mice. If we find an imbalance, we will trial appropriate drugs to try to correct this and lessen ataxia.
