Take part in the #StandUpforAE Challenge and help spread awareness about AE across the globe.  Researchers at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN have identified another antibody in AE which causes autoimmune ataxia.

Take the #StandupforAE challenge! Gab your phone and make a video stating you are standing up for Autoimmune Encephalitis and why. Post it on social media and send a copy into IAES.  Challenge others to do the same so we can raise awareness of these treatable disorders. Have FUN. Use your imagination. #StandupforAE #IAES #antiNMDAr #autoimmuneencephalitis #autoimmune #encephalitis #AEwarrior 

Cerebellar Ataxia

Ataxia describes a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as walking or picking up objects. A sign of an underlying condition, ataxia can affect various movements, creating difficulties with speech, eye movement and swallowing.

Persistent ataxia usually results from damage to the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum).

Here at IAES we like to use a variety of mediums to help people learn and understand. This song: Without You Cerebellum, is a great way to understand what the cerebellum does. Rock out and learn :)
