In HD there is less acetylcholine to activate its receptors, which means the cell is less activated, and there is less dopamine (brain happy chemical) released from the cell. The drug that Ailsa and team are trialing is able to mimic acetylcholine and activate its receptors, meaning the brain cell becomes more activated and releases more dopamine! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5701e7a3e707eb5e3e94d22b/1530585931308-2LRCOZZVY16JZDYDJ92R/Blaise.jpg Research Blog -
