    Aim: Neurodegenerative diseases are important health problems that affect many people. In this study, it was aimed to examine the brain regions of Huntington's patients by performing brain parcellation. Material and Method: 8 controls and 8 Huntington's patients participated in the study. We measured four Diffusion Tensor Imaging metrics which were axial diffusivity, mean diffusivity, radial diffusivity and fractional anisotropy performing brain parcellation over Diffusion Tensor Imaging for control and patient groups. We used a full automated data-driven approach to study the whole brain, divided in regions of interest using mricloud. Results: When the huntington disease group compared to control group, We found that mean diffusivity and axial diffusivity increased frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, corpus callosum, white matter, limbic and subcortical structures, and radial diffusivity increased corpus callosum, capsula interna (p<0.05). The fractional anisotropy value was higher in nucleus caudatus, putamen and a significant difference was observed (p<0.05). Conclusion: The increase of axial diffusivity and mean diffusivity values axonal degeneration and demyelination of frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, corpus callosum, white matter, limbic, subcortical structures; increased radial diffusivity values dysmyelination of the corpus callosum and capsula interna; fractional anisotropy increased values in nucleus caudatus and putamen may indicate a degenerative process, axon loss and inflammation.

    Pain in the neck is one of the oldest and most common problems known to mankind. Neck pain is generally defined as a feeling of discomfort felt in the side and back of the neck. This study aimed to investigate the effect of KT on neck pain in academicians with neck pain. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of taping by using the Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire before and after to evaluate neck pain. A total of 40 people, 18 male, and 22 female participated in the study. Academicians with neck pain were included in our study. Demographic information such as age, height, weight, gender, regular sports habits, daily smoking, and chronic disease status was questioned. \"Y\" and \"I\" bands were applied to the participants. The \"Y\" band was applied to the lower end of the cervical 7th vertebra (Vertebra Prominens) with submaximal tension, and the other two ends were applied to the right end of the right end to the proc. mastoideus of and temporal bone the left end to the processus (proc.) mastoideus of the left temporal bone. The \"I\" band was applied to the pars transversa of the trapezius muscle with moderate tension. The applied bands remained on the participants for 72 hours (3 days). In addition, the Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire consisting of 7 questions was applied to the participants, questioning the intensity of pain, inadequacy in activities of daily living, inadequacy in social activities, anxiety, emotional aspects of depression, kinesiophobia, and ability to control pain. The Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire was administered twice before and 10 days after the taping procedure and the results were compared. It was observed that the Bournemouth Neck Pain Scale scores before taping were higher than after taping in the participants included in the study. The decrease in Bournemouth Neck Pain scale scores after taping was statistically significant (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Bournemouth Neck Pain Scale scores between those who do and do not do regular sports before taping (p>0.05), but a statistically significant difference was found after taping (p<0.05). It has been concluded that KT is an effective method in the treatment of neck pain in academics who spend a long time at the computer and desk. We believe that the study will contribute to clinicians, researchers and the literature.
