Abstract excerpt
In Huntington's disease (HD), the output of striatal indirect pathway medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) is altered in its target region, the external globus pallidus (GPe). In a previous study we demonstrated that selective optogenetic stimulation of indirect pathway MSNs induced prolonged decay time of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) responses in GPe neurons. Here we identified the mechanism underlying this...
