Discovering the Telltale Signs: Distinguishing Alzheimer’s Disease from Frontotemporal Lobe Degeneration

Imagine you’re a detective trying to solve two different mysteries. One involves memory loss and cognitive impairment, while the other focuses on behavioral abnormalities. These are the cases of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD), two common forms of neurodegenerative dementia. However, early diagnosis remains a challenge. In this study, researchers used clinical, […]

Computational models of neurotransmission at cerebellar synapses unveil the impact on network computation

The neuroscientific field benefits from the conjoint evolution of experimental and computational techniques, allowing for the reconstruction and simulation of complex models of neurons and synapses. Chemical synapses are characterized by presynaptic vesicle cycling, neurotransmitter diffusion, and postsynaptic receptor activation, which eventually lead to postsynaptic currents and subsequent membrane potential changes. These mechanisms have been […]
