A new research paper:
Orthostatic tremor: a cerebellar pathology?
“Functional connectivity between the lateral cerebellum and the supplementary motor area was abnormally increased in patients with orthostatic tremor, and correlated positively with tremor severity. After repetitive transcranial stimulation, tremor severity and functional connectivity between the lateral cerebellum and the supplementary motor area were reduced. We provide an explanation for orthostatic tremor pathophysiology, and demonstrate the functional relevance of cerebello-thalamo-cortical connections in tremor related to cerebellar defects.”
This research was in part financed by the OT community through the NORD OT Research grant. Thank you to the researchers for studying this rare disease and to those who participated in the NORD OT fund!
