YEATS2 Knockdown Impairs Dopaminergic Synaptic Integrity and Leads to Seizure-like Behaviors in Drosophila Melanogaster

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

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...

Accumulation of NMDA Receptors in Accumbal Neuronal Ensembles Mediates Increased Conditioned Place Preference for Cocaine After Prolonged Withdrawal

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...

Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2B Modulates the Amyloidogenic Pathway and Exhibits an Aβ-Dependent Expression in Alzheimer’s Disease

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...

Chronic Evoked Seizures in Young Pre-symptomatic APP/PS1 Mice Induce Serotonin Changes and Accelerate Onset of Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Neuropathology

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...
