Scientists discovered that a specific type of brain cell becomes unusually quiet in Huntington's disease. By restoring the activity of these cells in mice, they were able to rebalance brain circuits and improve movement.

HD researchers developed an AI-powered tool that analyzes a short counting task. Its speech measures reflected clinical scores and HD-related changes over time, suggesting it could be used as a remote monitoring tool in future.

Getting “stuck” on a thought, action, or conversation can be a symptom of HD—not stubbornness. New research suggests perseveration may begin earlier than previously thought and highlights the value of caregiver perspectives.
