In Alzheimer's disease (AD), early deficits in learning and memory are a consequence of synaptic modification which are likely induced by toxic beta-amyloid oligomers (dAbeta). To identify molecular targets downstream of dAbeta binding we prepared synaptoneurosomes from frontal cortex of control a...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Purpose: To examine and characterize the expression profile of genes expressed at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of extraocular muscles (EOMs) in comparison to the NMJs of tibialis anterior muscle (TA). Methods: Adult rat rectus EOMs and TAs were dissected, flash-frozen, serially sectioned and ...

Circadian rhythms are present across almost all species and affect several physiological and behavioral aspects of living organisms. The evolutionary advantage conferred by these rhythms could be their anticipatory properties. In the nervous system, anticipation is particularly interesting due to th...

Mitochondria are the ‘power-houses’ of all cells, generating ATP to fuel numerous pathways which are vital for cellular form and function (1). Neuronal processes and synapses present a constant demand for ATP to maintain ionic gradients and neurotransmission events (2), promoting sub-populations of ...

Circadian and Sleep regulation of synaptic RNA
Genome-wide association studies indicate allele variants in MIR137, the host gene of microRNA-137 (miR137), confer an increased risk of schizophrenia (SCZ). Expression of miR137 and its targets, many of which regulate synaptic functioning, are also associated with an increased risk of SCZ. As a resu...

The Habenular G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 151 regulates synaptic plasticity and nicotine intake
Alcoholism is a complex neurological disorder characterized by loss of control in limiting intake, and progressive compulsion to seek and consume ethanol. Prior studies have suggested that the characteristic behaviors associated with escalation of drug use are caused, at least in part, by ethanol-ev...
