Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of Huntington's disease is still not completely understood. Several lines of evidence from toxic/non-transgenic animal models of Huntington's disease suggest that excitotoxic mechanisms may contribute to the pathological phenotype. Evidence from transgenic animal models of Huntington's disease, however, is sparse. To explore potential alterations in brain glutamate handling we studied transgenic...
