Summary Ultrastructural analysis of the ncl. accumbens, frontal cortex, and caudate nucleus of ten patients with Huntington's chorea revealed nuclear membrane indentation of remaining neuronal elements in 〉25%, 〈5%, and 〈2%, respectively. This phenomenon was not observed in ten non-choreic control brains obtained from patients with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and non-demented elderly people. The pathogenetic mechanisms leading to this phenomenon are discussed.
