Abstract
Our results confirm that the degeneration of nigrostriatal pathway may occur in symptomatic HD patients. If confirmed by larger studies, the lack of any kind of correlation between clinical and neuropsychological features with striatal uptake and volume of substantia nigra suggests that motor and cognitive aspects in HD are not directly related to nigrostriatal degeneration.
