Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1: It's not just about Purkinje cells

Puneet Opal. Neuron. .

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Pilotto et al.1 use state-of-the-art in vivo imaging in mice to show that excitatory/inhibitory imbalance drives SCA1 pathophysiology, with hyperexcitable molecular layer interneurons overinhibiting Purkinje cells, leading to hallmark neurodegeneration.
