It is now more than 7 years since the genetic mutation causing Huntington's disease (HD)
was first identified. Unstable CAG expansion in the IT15 gene, responsible for disease, is …

The early stages of Huntington's disease (HD) present with motor, cognitive, and emotional
symptoms. Correspondingly, current models implicate dysfunction of the motor, associative …

Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by the selective loss of striatal projection
neurons. In early stages of HD, neurodegeneration preferentially occurs in the lateral globus …

Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which degeneration of
medium‐sized spiny striatal neurons occurs. The HD gene and the protein it encodes …

It has been shown previously that the synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone induces
apoptosis of granule cells in the dentate gyrus and striatopallidal neurons in the …

Changes in BDNF expression after different types of brain insults are related to
neuroprotection, stimulation of sprouting, and synaptic reorganization. In the cerebral cortex …

Chorea (Greek for" dance") refers to irregular, rapid, flowing, nonstereotyped, and random
involuntary movements that often possess a writhing quality, referred to as choreoathetosis …

The subject of this research is to understand the role of genes, aging, and neurotoxicants on
the etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). One specific gene, the human cx-synuclein gene …

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inheritable neurodegenerative disorder caused by a
pathogenic polyglutamine expansion in the protein huntingtin. It is characterized by …
