2024 DMRF Funding Announcement: Meike van der Heijden, PhD, Virginia Tech University

In her study, Relationship Between Cerebellar Purkinje and Nuclei Cell Spike Signals in Dystonia, Dr. van der Heijden seeks to further explore the neural mechanisms in the cerebellum that cause dystonia. In this video, she explains how by using mouse models to examine two different cell types found in the cerebellum, she hopes to uncover how changes in brain signals can cause dystonia.
