Abstract excerpt
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases. Sheep affected with the CLN6 form provide a valuable model to investigate underlying disease mechanisms from preclinical stages. Excitatory neuron loss in these sheep is markedly regional, localized early reactive changes accurately predicting neuron loss and subsequent symptom development. This investigation...
