Study reveals how Huntington's disease affects different neurons
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.
