Abstract excerpt
In mice, the genetic background determines susceptibility to hippocampal neurodegeneration induced by the excitotoxin kainic acid (KA). If genetic background plays as significant a role in the striatum, the area most affected in Huntington's disease (HD), it is important to characterize intrinsic differences in neuronal susceptibility in mouse strains used in HD models. This study was performed to investigate...
