Spinalcerebellar ataxia
Persons with spinocerebellar ataxia experience a degeneration of the spinal cord and the cerebellum, the small fissured mass at the base of the brain, behind the brain stem. The cerebellum is concerned with coordination of movements, so the "wasting away" of this critical control center results in a loss of muscle coordination.
