Background:

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder.
HD causes motor, cognitive, and psychiatric impairments.
Current treatments for HD are primarily symptomatic.

Purpose of the Study:

To review brain stimulation studies in Huntington's disease.
To elucidate cortical excitability and plasticity characteristics in HD.
To explore the therapeutic potential of neuromodulatory brain stimulation for HD.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on brain stimulation in HD.
Analysis of studies using noninvasive and invasive neuromodulation techniques.
Assessment of findings related to cortical excitability and plasticity.

Main Results:

Brain stimulation methods have been instrumental in studying HD.
These methods provide insights into altered cortical excitability and plasticity in HD.
Neuromodulation shows promise as a therapeutic strategy for HD.

Conclusions:

Brain stimulation is a valuable tool for understanding HD pathophysiology.
Noninvasive and invasive neuromodulation offer potential therapeutic avenues for HD.
Further research is needed to optimize brain stimulation therapies for HD patients.
