This study identifies increased intrinsic membrane excitability in SCA1-KI mice as a novel mechanism underlying hypertrophic olivary degeneration without inhibitory denervation.

This study identifies brain regions and cell types contributing to SCA1 disease using conditional knockout mice, showing that targeting multiple areas and muscle is necessary for effective therapy.

This study examines spatiotemporal changes in astrocyte phenotypes in SCA1 mice, finding region-specific alterations in astrocyte function and homeostasis that may contribute to disease progression.

This study shows disrupting ATXN1 nuclear localization in a SCA1 mouse model reduces disease-like phenotypes and alters region-specific transcriptomic profiles.
