exerted by the cerebellar cortex over cerebellar nuclei. Research using Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS) and Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) shows promising results. Additionally, mild to moderate cerebellar ataxia may be treatable with buspirone. It is thought that the buspirone increases the serotonin levels in the cerebellum and so decreases ataxia. Behavioral intervention Behavioral intervention is successful when it involves engaging knowledge of the interests and general backgrounds of individuals with cerebellar ataxia. An intervention technique for speech is to focus on optimizing respiratory and vocal resources as well as training compensatory strategies.
