Mutant huntingtin enhances activation of dendritic Kv4 K+ channels in striatal spiny projection neurons

Huntington’s disease (HD) is initially characterized by an inability to suppress unwanted movements, a deficit attributable to impaired synaptic activation of striatal indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (iSPNs). To better understand the mechanisms underlying this deficit, striatal neurons in...
