A lifespan staging model of basal forebrain cholinergic vulnerability
Abstract The cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain are among the most vulnerable cell types to age‐ and Alzheimer's disease‐related dysfunction and neurodegeneration. However, the biological bases of basal forebrain cholinergic vulnerability (the why) and the temporal sequence (the how) have yet to be fully resolved.

Abstract BACKGROUND APPE693Q (“Dutch”) transgenic mice develop aging‐related learning deficits and accumulate endogenously generated non‐fibrillar aggregates (NFAs) of amyloid beta (Aβ) and amyloid precursor protein α‐carboxy terminal fragments. NFA‐Aβ correlates with synaptic loss and memory deficits more closely than does fibrillar Aβ.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Whether cholinergic activity in the septohippocampal network affects cognitive dysfunction via hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP) in Alzheimer's pathogenesis remains unclear. METHODS An Alzheimer's pathogenesis by mutation in amyloid‐beta precursor protein gene (AppNL‐G‐F) knock‐in (KI) and HCNP precursor ...

Mitochondrial NADK2‐dependent NADPH controls tau oligomer uptake in human neurons
Abstract INTRODUCTION Reduced brain energy metabolism, mitochondria dysfunction, and extracellular tau oligomer buildup characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how these phenomena cooperatively promote neurodegeneration is poorly understood. We now report that tau oligomers (TauOs) pathologically coordinate mitochondrial metabolism with increased ...

Channel Dysfunction as the Basis for Comorbidities in Multiple Sclerosis and Depression
Ion channel remodelling induced by neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis alters neuronal excitability and immune signalling, creating shared molecular pathways that link multiple sclerosis pathology to depression and reveal novel pharmacological targets.

Modulation of K2P and Kv7 channels has the potential to reduce hyperexcitability and hypersynchronicity within the thalamocortical system. This offers a new avenue to suppress spike and wave discharges, the electrophysiological hallmark of absence epilepsy.
