Loss of huntingtin function slows synaptic vesicle endocytosis in striatal neurons from the httQ140/Q140 mouse model of Huntington's disease
12 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by CAG repeat expansion within the HTT gene, with the dysfunction and eventual loss of striatal medium spiny neurons a notable feature. Since medium spiny neurons receive high amounts of synaptic input, we hypothesised that this vulnerability originates from an inability to sustain presynaptic performance during intense neuronal activity. To test this hypothesis, primary...
