Cerebral cortex structure in prodromal Huntington disease

Cerebral cortex structure in prodromal Huntington disease

Neuroimaging studies of subjects who are gene-expanded for Huntington Disease, but not yet diagnosed (termed prodromal HD), report that the cortex is “spared,” despite the decrement in striatal and cerebral white-matter volume.
