OBJECTIVES: A growing number of publications @entity76 in @entity1 with @entity162 ( @entity162 ). The aim of the following paper was to examine the functional aspects of that issue by focusing on implicit learning - a cognitive function with significant cerebellar underpinnings. METHODS: 27 @entity1 with @entity162 and 26 @entity23 ( @entity23 ), matched for age and sex took part in the study. Implicit motor learning was assessed by the serial @entity137 task (SRTT), in which @entity1 were unconsciously learning a sequence of motor reactions. The indicators of procedural learning were the decrease of @entity137 ( @entity137 ) across the repetition of the sequence and the rebound of @entity137 when the sequence changed into a random set of stimuli. RESULTS: @entity2403 @entity1 did not present any indicators of the implicit learning, their @entity137 increased across repetitions of the sequence and it decreased when the sequence changed to random. Contrary, in the control group @entity137 decreased across the sequence repetitions and increased when the stimuli begun to appear randomly. LIMITATIONS: A low subject count and a non-drug na  ve @entity1 group, medicated with atypical antipsychotic and mood stabilizers, are the most significant limitations of this study. CONCLUSIONS: @entity2403 @entity1 did not acquire procedural knowledge while performing the task, whereas @entity23 did. To our knowledge this is the first study that shows the impairment of implicit motor learning in @entity1 with @entity2403 . This indicates the possible @entity76 in this disease and may provide a new neuropsychiatric approach to @entity162 .
