This project investigates the systemic delivery of viral vectors that express microRNAs targeting the gene that causes Huntington's disease. To date, we have successfully seen viral transduction of both neurons and glia in numerous brain regions following a single, systemic injection of the virus into the jugular vein of mice. Transduced areas of interest include cortex, striatum, globus pallidus, thalamus, hypothalamus, dentate gyrus and hippocampus.
