This study highlights that individual differences in apathy in HD may be explained by variability in atrophy and initial vulnerabilities in the right MCC, a region implicated in action-initiation. These findings thus serve to facilitate the prediction of an apathetic profile, permitting targeted, time-sensitive interventions in neurodegenerative disease with potential implications in otherwise healthy populations. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
