Cognitive assessment strategies in Huntington's disease research.

Abstract:

:The number of studies examining cognition in Huntington's disease (HD) has increased dramatically in recent decades, and cognitive research methods in HD have become much more sophisticated. In this review, we provide a summary of the advances in cognitive research in HD to date, and outline the key considerations for researchers planning to include cognitive assessment in their studies of HD. In particular, we discuss consideration of structure-function relationships, selection of tests appropriate to the population, choice of materials and issues of intellectual property, consideration of variables which can confound studies of cognition in HD, practice effects, and specific issues for multi-site research. Finally, we discuss future directions for cognitive assessment in HD research.

  • Chimera construction using multiple-template-based sequential PCRs.

    abstract::Chimera construction between different proteins is a useful method for investigating protein structure and function relationships. However, this technique, by its traditional application, has been daunting because of its complex procedure and low success rate. Here we describe a protocol for constructing chimeras betw...
