abstract = {Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant
neurodegenerative condition characterized by a triad of
movement disorder, neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive
deficits. The striatum is particularly vulnerable to the
effects of mutant huntingtin, and cell loss can already be
found in presymptomatic stages. Since the striatum is well
known for its role in reinforcement learning, we
hypothesized to find altered behavioral and neural responses
in HD patients in a probabilistic reinforcement learning
task performed during functional magnetic resonance imaging.
We studied 24 HD patients without central nervous system
(CNS)-active medication and 25 healthy controls. Twenty HD
patients and 24 healthy controls were able to complete the
task. Computational modeling was used to calculate
prediction error values and estimate individual parameters.
We observed that gray matter density and prediction error
signals during the learning task were related to disease
stage. HD patients in advanced disease stages appear to use
a less complex strategy in the reversal learning task. In
contrast, HD patients in early disease stages show intact
encoding of learning signals in the degenerating left
ventral striatum. This effect appears to be lost with
disease progression.},
