The team found that although functions such as movement, thinking or behaviour remained normal for a long time before the onset of symptoms in Huntington's disease, subtle changes to the brain ...

Huntington's disease kills a population of cells called striatal projection neurons, which are located in the striatum, a structure deep in the brain responsible for movement, many cognitive ...
