Enhanced GABAergic Inputs Contribute to Functional Alterations of Cholinergic Interneurons in the R6/2 Mouse Model of Huntington’s Disease1,2,3

Although large cholinergic interneurons (LCIs) in striatum are spared in Huntington's disease (HD), deficits in cholinergic function have been described. Here we demonstrate in a mouse model of HD that the firing patterns of LCIs are disrupted and this is due to aberrant GABAergic neurotransmis...
