Inactivation of adenosine A2A receptors reverses working memory deficits at early stages of Huntington's disease models
Cognitive impairments in Huntington's disease (HD) are attributed to a dysfunction of the cortico-striatal pathway and significantly affect the quality of life of the patients, but this has not been a therapeutic focus in HD to date. We postulated that adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR), located at...
