AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

36 - Synaptic Transmission & Sex Differences: Alzheimer's Disease August 2020

Episode Summary

Anusha is here to tell you about papers published in August 2020 on a range of topics in synaptic transmission, including changes to cholinergic signalling, glutamate signalling, synaptic plasticity, and connectivity in the context of AD. As well, she ends with a few papers that investigate sex differences in AD, which is very important in the context of studying disease mechanisms and developing effective treatments for both sexes. We hope you enjoy this episode!
