cAMP-Inhibits Cytoplasmic Phospholipase A2 and Protects Neurons against Amyloid-β-Induced Synapse Damage [PDF]

open access: yesBiology, 2015
A key event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides and the loss of synapses. In cultured neurons Aβ triggered synapse damage as measured by the loss of synaptic proteins. α-synuclein (αSN), aggregates of which accumulate

Developmental Changes of Human Neural Progenitor Cells Grafted into the Ventricular System and Prefrontal Cortex of Mouse Brain in Utero

open access: yesCells, 2023
The transplantation of neural progenitors into a host brain represents a useful tool to evaluate the involvement of cell-autonomous processes and host local cues in the regulation of neuronal differentiation during the development of the mammalian brain.

Functional maturation of human iPSC-derived pyramidal neurons in vivo is dependent on proximity with the host tissue

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have been used extensively in vitro to model early events in neurodevelopment. Because of a number of shortcomings, previous work has established a potential to use these cells in vivo after transplantation ...

Fueling Synapses [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2004
The transmission of information across neuronal synapses is an energetically taxing business. Sheng and colleagues monitored the localization of mitochondria following different levels of synaptic activation and discovered that these organelles change their distribution in interesting ways, stalling near synapses when neurons are activated and ...

Decoding Synapses [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 1996
The strength of many synapses is modified by various use and time-dependent processes, including facilitation and depression. A general description of synaptic transfer characteristics must account for the history-dependence of synaptic efficacy and should be able to predict the postsynaptic response to any temporal pattern of presynaptic activity.

The role of peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 in neuronal signaling in epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Epilepsy is a common symptom of many neurological disorders and can lead to neuronal damage that plays a major role in seizure-related disability.

Noise-modulated multistable synapses in a Wilson-Cowan-based model of plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2023
Frequency-dependent plasticity refers to changes in synaptic strength in response to different stimulation frequencies. Resonance is a factor known to be of importance in such frequency dependence, however, the role of neural noise in the process remains

Aberrant Synaptic Pruning in CNS Diseases: A Critical Player in HIV-Associated Neurological Dysfunction?

open access: yesCells, 2022
Even in the era of effective antiretroviral therapies, people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are burdened with debilitating neurological dysfunction, such as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and HIV-associated pain, for ...

Pathological and Synaptic Morphological Changes of the Olfactory Bulb in APP/PS1 Model Mice at Different Ages and the Intervention Effect of Memantine

open access: yesShiyan dongwu yu bijiao yixue, 2022
Objective To compare and explore the histopathological and ultrastructural characteristics of the olfactory bulb in 6- and 12-month-old APP/PS1 double-transgenic mice and their spatial learning and memory ability, as well as the effects of memantine ...

Clusters of synaptic inputs on dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal cells in mouse visual cortex

open access: yeseLife, 2016
The spatial organization of synaptic inputs on the dendritic tree of cortical neurons plays a major role for dendritic integration and neural computations, yet, remarkably little is known about it.
