About

Spinocerebellar ataxia is a progressive, inherited neurological disease that causes worsening problems with movement and coordination over time. Vyglxia is a drug designed to modulate glutamate, a key chemical messenger in the brain. By adjusting glutamate signaling, the drug could potentially help stabilize nerve cell activity and slow the progression of symptoms in this condition.
