Early GABAergic transmission defects in the external globus pallidus and rest/activity rhythm alteration in a mouse model of Huntington’s disease

Highlights • Reduced GABAergic protein expression in the external globus pallidus of R6/1 mice. • Early reduction of GABAergic neurotransmission and synapses in R6/1 mice. • Rest/activity rhythm is altered early in R6/1 mice revealing early sleep disturbances. • Early functional and behavioral alter...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Reduced GABAergic protein expression in the external globus pallidus of R6/1 mice. • Early reduction of GABAergic neurotransmission and synapses in R6/1 mice. • Rest/activity rhythm is altered early in R6/1 mice revealing early sleep disturbances. • Early functional and behavioral alterations in the R6/1 model of Huntington’s disease. • Our data reveal deficits at a young age when mice have been considered asymptomatic.
