Alterations in the connectivity of cerebral white matter associated with the diverse nature of apathy in Huntington’s disease have been identified by researchers. The finding suggest a potential use of this syndrome as a biomarker of disease progression, and may lead to personalized treatments for apathy as a multidimensional syndrome in other neurodegenerative disorders. “Our…

Early Abnormalities In Huntington’s Disease Neurogenesis
Early abnormalities in the way Huntington’s neurons look, and how these cells form larger structures that had not previously been associated with the disease, are described in a new study, from a team at Rockefeller University who developed a system to model Huntington’s disease in human embryonic stem cells for the first time. The findings…
