In clinically presymptomatic individuals with the Huntington's disease (HD) gene mutation, functional neuroimaging data have suggested a dysfunction of multiple cortical and subcortical regions including the prefrontal and parietal cortex, as well as the striatum. Although it has been hypothesized that these activation differences most likely reflect aberrant corticostriatal circuits, the functional coupling of...
