Funding

This research was supported by the Mental Health Trust and Research Fund and in part by the Huntington's Chorea Foundation, New York. It could not have been done without the help of a number of consultant psychiatrists and pathologists who arranged the post-mortems and carried out the removal and initial storage of the brain tissues, for which we are most grateful. We thank Dr. J. A. N. Corsellis and Dr. L. Carrasco who carried out the histopathology, Professor G. A. Gresham and his pathology staff who assisted with the handling of control brain tissues, Dr. A. V. P. Mackay and Dr. R. Zigmond who carried out the tyrosine hydroxylase assays, Dr. J. S. Kelly who gave assistance with the computer, Mrs. Janet Baker and Mrs. Elizabeth Palfreyman who gave technical assistance, and Miss Joan Bird and Miss Barbara Beebe who collected and transported brain tissue.
