The fate of striatal neurons in Huntington`s disease
... Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. It is characterized by very prominent motor symptoms (chorea, “danssjuka”), but patients also are affected by cognitive, psychiatric and metabolic deficits. Symptoms usually start between 30 and 45 years of age, and the ...
