SPEAKER PROGRAM TEAMOpen menu CONTACT REGISTRATION LOCATION PARTNERS X Restoring excitation-transcription coupling prevents synaptic dysfunction and cognitive decline in AD mouse models In animal models of amyloid pathology, the earliest phenotype is neuronal hyperexcitability caused by suppression of glutamate reuptake. In this scenario, at an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), glutamate spillover to peri-… Continue reading Abstracts_Grochowska
