Curious about brain imaging in HD? Our latest review summarises key findings from structural, diffusion and fMRI, plus emerging techniques like 7T MRI, MEG and novel mHTT PET ligands. movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @rachiscahill.bsky.social @carlosestevezfraga.bsky.social

academic.oup.com/braincomms/a... delighted to finally see this out. We asked the question - could we identify different subtypes of CBS using SuStaIn algorithm applied to a baseline structural MRI scan and if so did these associate with underlying pathology? Read the paper to find out!

Prof Tabrizi: “I want to thank the participants in our young adult study as their dedication and commitment over the last 5 years mean we hope clinical trials aimed at preventing #HD will become a reality in the next few years." @rachiscahill.bsky.social @drmfarag.bsky.social @uclqsion.bsky.social

Made a starter pack of the Huntington disease researchers/orgs I can find on Bluesky. If you’re an HD researcher and want to be added, reply or DM. go.bsky.app/UM9WCpA

Our paper in Nature Medicine is out today! Great working with @drmfarag.bsky.social & the YAS team (researchers and participants) to identify biomarkers that pave the way for preventative trials in Huntington's Disease. Thanks to @wellcometrust.bsky.social and CHDI for funding. tinyurl.com/3fde9mth

Subtle changes in the brain happen around 20 years before a clinical motor diagnosis in people with Huntington’s disease. The new findings from a study led by Prof Sarah Tabrizi @uclqsion.bsky.social @uclbrainscience.bsky.social will guide future prevention trials www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/ja...

Excited to share my joint first-author paper (with @rachiscahill.bsky.social) published today in Nature Medicine (@natmedicine.bsky.social, @nature.com). Our findings are timely as the #HD therapeutic landscape expands toward preventive clinical trials. 🔓 Open access: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
