Simon Says isn’t just a game, it’s a window into early HD! In this study, tiny thumb twitches reveal how attention slips before impulsivity kicks in. Understanding this could help catch HD sooner & improve support. Ready to play?

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes linked to mitochondrial stress, suggesting that energy imbalance may play a role in HD, even before neurons fully form.

Scientists tested a new tool to measure harmful HTT protein in HD. It wasn’t perfect, but offered key insights to guide better tools already in the works. A big step toward tracking HD non-invasively, from inside the brain!
