Early molecular and behavioural changes associated with BDNF-TrkB signalling: insights into Huntington's disease
- Abstract:
-
Studying the precise role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-TrkB signalling in Huntington’s disease (HD) pathogenesis is challenging due to the complex interactions among diverse pathways the disease affects. By depletion of TrkB signalling, specifically from the enkephalinergic striatopallidal neurons (iSPNs), our laboratory has generated a novel mouse model (TrkbPenk-KO) which leads to an age-dependent HD-like motor dysfunction phenotype. The transcriptomic ...
