Smartphones can help scientists calculate a new clinical measure of HD, called the HD Digital Motor Score. Easier data collection could means less clinic trips, fewer people needed for studies, and a better understanding of HD. 

Transplanting healthy human glial cells into HD mouse brains improved movement, memory, and survival. Even more strikingly, the glia coaxed diseased neurons to behave more like healthy ones, offering a potential new path for treating HD.

Simon Says isn’t just a game, it’s a window into early HD! In this study, tiny thumb twitches reveal how attention slips before impulsivity kicks in. Understanding this could help catch HD sooner & improve support. Ready to play?
