Abstract
The excitatory amino acid (EAA) hypothesis of neuronal loss in Huntington's disease predicts that structures that show neuronal loss and gliosis will contain receptor-bearing neurons. In accordance with this hypothesis, the hypothalamic lateral tuberal nucleus, severely affected in Huntington's disease, showed a high density of NMDA and AMPA binding sites in four normal subjects.
