Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by expansion of the polyglutamine stretch in the widely expressed huntingtin (HTT) protein. Patients with HD have motor, psychiatric and cognitive changes due to changes in a variety of neural circuits. Somatostatin-expressing interneurons (SST-INs) can regulate neural circuits largely by inhibiting their target cells. Behaviorally, brain-wide inhibition of SST-INs increased...
