Alpha-GABa receptor modulators for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with Huntington’s disease (360G-Wellcome-110377_Z_15_Z)
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disease characterised by a movement disorder that is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function and changes in mood and behaviour. The decline in cognitive function may precede the movement disorder by a decade or more and is a very important component of the functional disability associated with HD. There is, however, no effective treatment for enhancing cognitive performance in HD. The Professor John Atack from the University of Sussex aims to identify novel drugs that can enhance cognitive performance in subjects with HD and thereby address a large unmet medical need.
