About this trial
Building on previous findings regarding microglial immune function and the immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids, this project centers on the cerebellum's role in cognitive science. Using Cushing's syndrome-induced cerebellar atrophy leading to CCAS as a model, we aim to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms governed by the neuro-adrenal-immune network and to uncover the molecular basis by which a novel minimally invasive brain-machine fusion system ameliorates cerebellar ataxia and cognitive impairment.
