Structural and molecular myelination deficits occur prior to neuronal loss in the YAC128 and BACHD models of Huntington disease
28 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
White matter (WM) atrophy is a significant feature of Huntington disease (HD), although its aetiology and early pathological manifestations remain poorly defined. In this study, we aimed to characterize WM-related features in the transgenic YAC128 and BACHD models of HD. Using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI), we demonstrate that microstructural WM abnormalities occur from an early age in...
