This is the first study to assess changes in interhemispheric communication in patients with SCAs and ICD, using a transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol. Together with previous data in Huntington's disease, we suggest that these changes may underlie, at least in part, a common disease mechanism of polyglutamine disorders.
