Neural basis of Huntington disease
Huntingtons disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutant gene that produces a toxic protein damaging nerve cells in the brain that leads to a decline in cognitive and motor function. This post explores the latest research on the neural basis of HD, brain regions affected, pathophysiology of neuronal death, and molecular mechanisms. Additionally, we will delve into potential treatments, such as gene therapy or stem cell therapy, that are being investigated to improve patient quality of life.
