Huntingtin Aggregate-Associated Axonal Degeneration is an Early Pathological Event in Huntington's Disease Mice
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
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 pallidus (LGP) and substantia nigra (SN), two regions in which the axons of striatal neurons terminate. Here we report that in mice expressing full-length mutant huntingtin and modeling early stages of HD, neuropil aggregates form...
