The effect of thalamic degeneration in patients with spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) and sleep spindle (SS) abnormalities has not been studied so far, although there is a strong association between these disorders. This study was done to evaluate and compare the SS densities (SSDs) of genetically proven autosomal dominant SCA1, SCA2 and SCA3 patients with controls.
