📍 Aftermath

Research indicated that restoring cortical disinhibition and using optogenetic activation of VIP neurons improved motor function and brain function in Huntington's disease phenotypes. Other developments included the dosing of a patient with neural stem cell therapy and the use of PROTACs for selective targeting of toxic huntingtin.

Questions people are asking

What is cortical disinhibition?

Cortical disinhibition refers to the reduction of inhibitory signals in the brain's cortex, which can affect motor function and other neurological processes.

What are PROTACs?

PROTACs, or Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras, are molecules designed to selectively degrade specific proteins, in this case, toxic Huntingtin.

What are VIP neurons?

VIP neurons are a type of neuron that releases vasoactive intestinal peptide, involved in various brain functions including cortical disinhibition.
