ABSTRACT Neurotoxicity induced by excessive glutamatergic signaling is associated with synaptic dysfunction, calcium imbalance, and oxidative stress, which are key molecular events implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer, may exert neurotoxic effects, particularly on synaptic integrity ...

Abstract In recent years, the clinical treatment and symptom management of neurological disorders have faced significant challenges due to the high complexity of the nervous system's structure and function. Against this backdrop, physical stimulation techniques have emerged as a vital complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments and

Tracking Genetic Parkinson's Disease with Molecular Imaging: A Systematic Review
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a worldwide, complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Around 15–20% of PD cases are linked to genetic mutations, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...

Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic
