Impact of Exercise on Eyeblink Conditioning in Spinocerebellar Ataxias

The goal of this project is to evaluate how aerobic training impacts eyeblink conditioning as a proxy for cerebellar dependent motor learning. The newly developed smartphone application, iBlink, will be used to test participants at home in an effort to improve recruitment and increase the sample size of the study. The investigators hypothesize that aerobic training, but not balance training, will improve eyeblink conditioning in participants with spinocerebellar ataxias. The current study focuses on Aim 3 of this project.
