Despite [[Huntington's disease]] being a disorder that directly affects striatal areas of the brain used in procedural memory, most individuals with the condistioncondition display different memory problems from people with striatum related brain diseases.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Sprengelmeyer | first1 = R | last2 = Canavan | first2 = AG | last3 = Lange | first3 = HW | last4 = Hömberg | first4 = V | date = Jan 1995 | title = Associative learning in degenerative neostriatal disorders: contrasts in explicit and implicit remembering between Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases | journal = Mov Disord | volume = 10 | issue = 1| pages = 51–65 | doi=10.1002/mds.870100110| pmid = 7885356 | s2cid = 38578307 }}</ref> In more advanced stages of the disease, however, procedural memory is affected by damage to the important brain pathways that help the inner subcortical and prefrontal cortex parts of the brain to communicate.<ref>Saint-Cyr JA, Taylor AE, Lang AE.
