Abstract excerpt
Neuronal loss in Huntington's disease (HD) is seen first in the neostriatum. It has been suggested that impaired metabolism underlies this degeneration, as striatal vulnerability to excitotoxicity is increased by metabolic compromise. At 12 weeks of age, a transgenic mouse carrying the HD mutatio...
