Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Huntington's disease is characterized by degeneration of the basal ganglia, which includes the caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus. Disruptions in these structures can lead to symptoms such as involuntary movements, cognitive decline, and emotional disturbances. Huntington's disease does not disrupt the brain pathways that use dopamine for signaling (A), the cerebellum (B), or the substantia nigra (C).
