Journal ArticleDOI

Altered serotonin receptor expression is associated with depression-related behavior in the R6/1 transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease

TL;DR: It is shown that pre-motor symptomatic HD mice display sex-specific depressive-related behaviors on the forced-swim, tail-suspension and novelty-suppressed feeding tests while having muted responses to acute anti-depressant administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is dysregulation of the HPA-axis a core pathophysiology mediating co-morbid depression in neurodegenerative diseases?

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding HPA-axis pathology in Alzheimer’s, PD and HD is summarized, differentiating between prodromal and later stages of disease progression when evidence is available.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexually dimorphic serotonergic dysfunction in a mouse model of Huntington's disease and depression.

TL;DR: This study reveals sex-specific depressive-related behaviors during an early stage of HD prior to any cognitive and motor deficits and suggests a crucial role for disrupted serotonin signaling in mediating the sexually dimorphic depression-like phenotype in HD mice.
