This occurs prior neuronal with ample evidence that synaptic dysfunction precedes this, in support idea failure is crucial stage disease pathogenesis. two pathological hallmarks abnormal aggregates amyloid or tau proteins, have had demonstrable effects on physiology animal cellular models There also growing these proteins may synergistic effect neurophysiological dysfunction. Here, we review some findings alterations what know from models. First, briefly summarize human suggest synapses are altered, including how this relates network activity. Subsequently, considered, highlighting mouse pathology role play dysfunction, either isolation examining pathologies interact specifically focuses function observed models, typically measured using electrophysiology calcium imaging. Following loss, it would be impossible imagine not alter oscillatory activity brain. Therefore, discusses underpin aberrant patterns seen patients.

Abstract Human studies consistently identify bioenergetic maladaptations in brains upon aging and neurodegenerative disorders of (NDAs), such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Huntington’s Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Glucose is the major brain fuel glucose hypometabolism has been observed regions vulnerable to NDAs. Many susceptible are topological central hub connectome, linked by densely interconnected long-range axons. Axons, key components have high metabolic needs support neurotransmission other essential activities. Long-range axons particularly injury, neurotoxin exposure, protein stress, lysosomal dysfunction, etc. Axonopathy often an early sign neurodegeneration. Recent ascribe axonal maintenance failures local dysregulation. With this review, we aim stimulate research exploring metabolically oriented neuroprotection strategies enhance or normalize bioenergetics NDA models. Here start summarizing evidence from human patients animal models reveal correlation between connectomic disintegration aging/NDAs. To encourage mechanistic investigations on how dysregulation occurs during aging/NDAs, first review current literature distinct subdomains: axon initial segments, myelinated arbors harboring pre-synaptic boutons. In each subdomain, focus organization, activity-dependent regulation system, external glial support. Second, mechanisms regulating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) homeostasis, molecule for energy metabolism processes, including NAD biosynthetic, recycling, consuming pathways. Third, highlight innate vulnerability connectome discuss its perturbation As deficits developing into NDAs, especially asymptomatic phase, they likely exaggerated further impaired energetic cost neural network hyperactivity, pathology. Future interrogating causal relationship vulnerability, axonopathy, amyloid/tau pathology, cognitive decline will provide fundamental knowledge therapeutic interventions.

Progressive neuronal loss is a hallmark feature distinguishing neurodegenerative diseases from normal ageing. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Extracellular K+ homeostasis potential mediator of injury as elevations increase excitatory activity. The dysregulation extracellular and potassium channel expressions during neurodegeneration could contribute to this distinction. Here we measured cortical concentration ([K+]e) in awake wild-type mice well murine models using K+-sensitive microelectrodes. Unexpectedly, aged exhibited significantly lower [K+]e than young mice. In contrast, was consistently elevated Alzheimer's disease (APP/PS1), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (SOD1G93A) Huntington's (R6/2) models. Cortical resting correlated inversely with density buffering rate but positively predicted firing rate.

Abstract Proteomics can shed light on the dynamic and multifaceted alterations in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Combining radioligands measuring β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques tau tangles with cerebrospinal fluid proteomics, we uncover molecular events mirroring different stages of AD pathology living humans. We found 127 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) across spectrum. The strongest Aβ-related were mainly expressed glial cells included SMOC1 ITGAM. A dozen linked to ATP metabolism preferentially neurons independently associated tangle load accumulation. Only 20% DAPs also altered other diseases, underscoring AD’s distinct proteome. Two co-expression modules related, respectively, protein microglial immune response encompassed most DAPs, opposing, staggered trajectories along continuum. unveil signatures Aβ proteinopathy vivo, offering insights into complex neural responses potential biomarkers therapeutics targeting stages.

Optogenetics is a valuable tool for studying the mechanisms of neurological diseases and now being developed therapeutic applications. In rodents macaques, improved channelrhodopsins have been applied to achieve transcranial optogenetic stimulation.
