Cerebellum, Epilepsy, Spasticity, Electrical Stimulation, Spinocerebellar tracts, cerebellar syndromeAbstract
The spinocerebellar tracts are a proprioceptive link of high functional and movement importance due to their close connection between the spinal cord, the cerebellum, the basal ganglia and the cerebral motor cortex. Its systematization means that different parts of the body soma are represented in different structures, and its essential function is subconscious proprioceptive feedback to adjust movement. Their functional richness and their superficial location on the surface of the lateral cord of the spinal cord make them ideal targets for future therapeutic projection by electrical neuromodulation, mainly in spasticity, epilepsy and abnormal movements, especially when, due to their somatotopic systematization, it could allow carving stimulation. adapted to the pathological characteristics of each patient.
