This study aims to construct a human brain–body model that incorporates cerebellar neuron models with detailed morphological structures and a musculoskeletal system. The model is designed to account for neurodegeneration, enabling simulations that reproduce the pathological conditions of SCA6. Through this approach, the study will contribute to clarifying the neural mechanisms underlying SCA6.
