However, compared to the control group, subtle changes were detected in brain scans and spinal fluid biomarkers of those with Huntington's disease gene expansion. This indicates that the ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative disorders.

Huntington’s disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that causes problems with movement, behavior, and cognitive ...

Mouse studies demonstrated that newly generated neurons connect with brain networks responsible for motor control.

Caption Shown are MRI scans of a Huntington’s disease (HD) sufferer’s brain (left) and a normal brain (right). In the HD brain, many brain cells have died and fluid (black areas) has filled in ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...

UCLA Health researchers say study findings uncover Huntington's disease mechanisms and pave new ways to develop treatments.

developed a method to measure both CAG-repeat lengths and gene expression in individual brain cells of six deceased people with Huntington’s disease. The researchers analysed tissue from a brain ...

Feb. 11, 2025 — A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington ...

Medically reviewed by Nicholas R. Metrus, MD Huntington’s disease is a hereditary degenerative neurological disease that ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder ... supported by the findings of atrophy (shrinkage) of the caudate nucleus on brain imaging. Today, DNA testing can reliably ...
