Background Cervical dystonia (CD) has been recognized as a disorder of the brain’s sensorimotor network. Within this malfunctioning network, the cerebellum plays an important role that needs to be further characterized. Methods To investigate the structural connectivity of the dentato-rubro-thalamic...
