I apologize, a lot of these links aren't working and I haven't had time to find the new links on SNF's website. Jan.2008. However you can click here Brain Briefings to see the Chronological List of previous Brain Briefing articles.  Of interest to HD families:  2006 - March - Huntington's Disease and 1997 - February - Huntington's Disease Genetics
