Huntington's disease leads to degeneration of brain structures called thebasal ganglia, which are responsible for control of movement and also play roles in other behaviors, as well as emotions. For many years, Graybiel has been studying the striatum, a part of the basal ganglia that is involv...
Huntington's disease is a degenerative, hereditary, genetic illness similar to Parkinson's and it affects one in 10,000 in the population. Not only does it destroy the person - mind and body - but it destroys entire families as well. West Belfast journalist SHANE McKAY writes of the havoc...

Understanding quality of life (QoL) is important in diseases for which there is no cure to date, such as Huntington’s disease (HD). A deeper level of understanding is, however, compromised by the lack of studies examining QoL from the perspectives of HD gene expansion carriers (HDGECs). ...
A hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's is the progressive death of nerve cells in the brain. The cells don't die quickly, though. They first start to disconnect from each other because their neurites—long finger-like extensions that make connections all through the brain—bec...
