Huntington's disease is characterized by highly selective and profound damage to the corpusstriatum, which regulates motor function.

RNase protection assay revealed about a 1.5-fold increase in the D2 dopamine receptor mRNA level in the corpusstriatum.

At E15-E19, the majority of cells in the plate stain, with their processes extending through the corpusstriatum to the thalamus.

Medium sized-spiny neurons (MSNs) in the corpusstriatum are highly vulnerable to mHtt aggregate accumulation and degeneration, but the mechanisms and pathways involved remain elusive.
