Breakthroughs in brain disease depend on studies using donated brains. One #brain can provide tissue for dozens – sometimes hundreds – of studies. In honor of annual National #BrainDonationAwarenessDay, consider this simple gift and learn more braindonorproject.org

Excited to share this discovery: Huntington's disease is a DNA process for almost all of a cell's life. Inherited HD alleles are innocuous, just unstable – CAG repeats slowy expand throughout life, acquiring toxicity only when quite long (>150 CAGs). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
