Correction: Expression of mutant huntingtin in glial cells contributes to neuronal excitotoxicity

Vol. 171 No. 6, December 19, 2005. Pages 1001–1012.

On page 1003 of the original paper, we cited the work of Lievens et al. (2001) as a previous study using isolated synaptosomes to examine glutamate uptake into neuronal vesicles that did not find a significant difference in DHK-specific glutamate uptake between R6/2 and wild-type mouse brain.

This work should be correctly cited as a previous study using synaptosomal preparations that contained neuronal and astroglial processes, which demonstrated 15% reduction of DHK-sensitive glutamate uptake in R6/2 mouse brain as compared to control mice. We thank Dr. Jean-Charles Lievens (Developmental Biology Institute of Marseille-Luminy, Marseille, France) for clarification.
