Study on Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) and the Level of Tight Junction Protein Claudin-5 in Microvessels Background Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of Amyloid-β (Aβ) in the cerebral blood vessels. Research indicates that approximately 23% of individuals over the age of 55 have moderate to severe CAA. CAA ...
Thalamic Reuniens Nucleus Glutamatergic Neurons Mediated Colorectal Visceral Pain in Mice through 5-HT2B Receptors Background Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and visceral hypersensitivity. Reducing visceral hypersensitivity is crucial for effectively alleviating abdominal pain in ...

A Study on the Effect of YEATS2 Gene Knockdown on Dopaminergic Synaptic Integrity and Epileptic-like Behavior in Drosophila Background Introduction Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activities in the brain. These abnormal activities can lead to seizures and other neurological symptoms. Familial adult my...
ABHD6 Drives Endocytosis of AMPA Receptors to Regulate Synaptic Plasticity and Learning Flexibility Research Background In the exploration of the neural system’s mechanisms, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors (AMPAR) maintain the tuning ability of neurons in both resting and active states through the regulation of...
Study Reveals Molecular Mechanisms of Enhanced Cocaine Craving in Rats During Withdrawal Background Introduction The issue of relapse in drug abuse poses a significant challenge in addiction treatment. According to related research, relapse behaviors in drug addiction are often triggered by environmental cues associated with drug use. This phenomen...
New Findings in Alzheimer’s Disease Research: The Regulatory Role of Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2b in the β-Amyloid Cascade Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in brain tissue and the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The abnormal...
APP/PS1 Mouse Study Reveals Link Between Chronic Induced Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia globally, affecting over 55 million people. The typical pathological feature of AD is the deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain. Although Aβ deposition and the mechanisms it triggers p...
Research Report on Mixed Selectivity in Monkey Anterior Intraparietal Area During Visual and Motor Processes Background In recent years, the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) has garnered significant interest in the field of neuroscience. AIP is considered a convergence node for multiple visual and somatosensory information, including the physical ...
Analysis of the Effect of Central LEAP-2 on Food Intake and Its Impact on Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Release Background Introduction Gut-brain peptides such as ghrelin and their receptors have been established as important factors in regulating hunger and reward processing. However, the liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (Leap2), an inverse ag...
