AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

69 - Treatments Targeting Synaptic Transmission in Alzheimer's Disease: September 2020

Episode Summary

Are you invested in the role of neurotransmission in Alzheimer’s disease? Well then buckle in because in this episode, Anusha will go over the latest and greatest compounds that target disease state changes to synaptic transmission in animal and in vitro models of Alzheimer’s. This episode covers the papers published in September of 2020 that use animal models and tissue culture to test the effects of novel compounds for their effects in rescuing synaptic transmission changes in AD. We’ll have 8 papers on cholinergic system, 3 on the glutamatergic neurotransmission, and 1 on G-protein coupled receptors. Major Sections: The Cholinergic System (1.44) The Glutamatergic System (15.15) G-Protein Coupled Receptors (21.40)

Today's episode was scripted by Melissa Conti Mazza and Anusha Kamesh, and hosted & Edited by Anusha herself. Big thanks to Elyn Rowe and Jacques Ferreira for sorting all the papers published in September into themes for our episodes, and props to the team that  works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible.

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
