## Abstract ## Background: Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the commonest form of autosomal recessive ataxia. This study aimed to define the extent of the brain damage in FRDA patients and to identify in vivo markers of neurodegeneration, using diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI). ## Methods: We studied
## Abstract Previous research draws parallels between ecstasy‐related and age‐related deficits in cognitive functioning. Age‐related impairments in working memory have been attributed to a slow down in information processing speed. The present study compared 29 current ecstasy users, 10 previous us
## Abstract Cardiomyopathy is an important and frequently life limiting manifestation of Friedreich's ataxia (FA), the most prevalent form of autosomal recessive ataxia. Left ventricular mass is used as primary outcome measure in recent intervention studies but systematic analyses of FA cardiomyopa
## Abstract Perturbations of precision grip were tested in 7 patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FA) and 11 patients with late‐onset cerebellar ataxia (CA). Subjects were instructed to hold a small compressible manipulandum between thumb and index finger and to resist any perturbation of maintained
