Adaptation to external auditory perturbation of vocal pitch is severely impaired in cerebellar ataxia, highlighting a key role of the cerebellum.
Individuals with cerebellar ataxia showed no adaptation to vocal pitch errors, contrasting with impairments in other motor systems.
Testing included sustained vocalization and natural word production tasks, showcasing challenges in both scenarios.
These findings call for further research into the specific mechanisms of vocal pitch control and adaptation in cerebellar ataxia.
