Synopsis

Keywords: Data Analysis, NeurodegenerationThe overall goal of this work is to apply novel MRI methods, sensitive to CSF production and clearance, to test fundamental hypotheses regarding altered neurofluid circulation in patients with Huntington’s disease (HD). In participants with HD and healthy age- and sex-matched controls, we applied multi-modal MRI to investigate deviations of neuroimaging biomarkers of the neurofluid circuit at different locations: choroid plexus, cerebral aqueduct, and PSD. Analyses show a significant increase in ChP volume and PSD volume, and a decrease in ChP perfusion and CSF net flow, in HD participants relative to healthy controls.
