Structural neuroimaging differentiates vulnerability from disease manifestation in colombian families with Huntington's disease
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2019-07)
Introduction: The volume of the striatal structures has been associated with disease progression in individuals with Huntington's disease (HD) from North America, Europe, and Australia. However, it is not known whether the ...
Losing ground: Frontostriatal atrophy disrupts language embodiment in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-09)
Within the language domain, movement disorders triggered by frontostriatal damage are characterized by deficits in action verbs, motor-language coupling, and syntax. However, these impairments have not been jointly interpreted ...
Action-semantic and syntactic deficits in subjects at risk for Huntington's disease
(British Psychological Soc, 2017-02)
Frontostriatal networks play critical roles in grounding action semantics and syntactic skills. Indeed, their atrophy distinctively disrupts both domains, as observed in patients with Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's ...
Neuroinflammation in Huntington’s Disease: A Starring Role for Astro-cyte and Microglia
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2021-11-26)
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene. HD causes motor, cognitive, and behavioral dysfunction. Since no existing treatment affects the ...
Clinical and genetic characteristics in patients with Huntington's Disease from Argentina
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease, caused by the expansion of an unstable (CAG) n in the HTT gene. There is scarce data about the disease in Argentina. Objective: To describe the demographic, clinical ...
Your misery is no longer my pleasure: Reduced schadenfreude in Huntington's disease families
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-10)
Schadenfreude – pleasure at others' misfortunes – has been systematically related to ventral striatum activity. This brain region is affected early in individuals with manifest and pre-manifest Huntington's disease (HD). ...
Heart rate variability and falls in Huntington’s disease
(Dr. Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag, 2020-02)
Purpose: Persons with Huntington's disease (HD) have a high incidence of falls. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction has been reported even in early stages of this disease. To date, there has been no analysis of the ...
Impairments in negative emotion recognition and empathy for pain in Huntington's disease families
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015)
How have advances in genetic technology modified movement disorder nosology?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
The role of genetics and its technological development have been fundamental in advancing the field of movement disorders, opening the door to precision medicine. Starting from the revolutionary discovery of the locus of ...

(B M J Publishing Group, 2018-01)
Schadenfreude - pleasure at others' misfortunes - is a multidetermined social emotion which involves reward processing, mentalising and perspective-taking abilities. Patients with Huntington's disease (HD) exhibit reductions ...
