Abstract excerpt
Brainstem degeneration is a prominent feature of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), involving structures that execute binaural synchronization with microsecond precision. As a consequence, auditory processing may deteriorate during the course of disease. We tested whether the binaural "Huggins pitch" effect is suitable to study the temporal precision of brainstem functioning in SCA3 mutation carriers. We...
