In Vivo Dopamine Efflux is Decreased in Striatum of both Fragment (R6/2) and Full-length (YAC128) Transgenic Mouse Models of Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s disease (HD) is characterized by alterations within the corticostriatal circuitry. The striatum is innervated by a dense array of dopaminergic (DA) terminals and these DA synapses are critical to the proper execution of motor functions. As motor disturbances are prevalent in HD we exami...
