Physiotherapy case reports on three people with progressive supranuclear palsy

IntroductionProgressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative brain disease that affects patient’s functionality and quality of life. Physiotherapy should be recommended at the time of diagnosis to slow the progression of disability and enhance the quality of life of these patients.Clinical presentationHere, we describe three cases of patients with PSP, outlining their motor and non-motor […]

Altered synaptic plasticity at hippocampal CA1–CA3 synapses in Alzheimer’s disease: integration of amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain and amyloid beta effects into computational models

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive memory loss and cognitive dysfunction brain disorder brought on by the dysfunctional amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and clearance of APP peptides. Increased APP levels lead to the production of AD-related peptides including the amyloid APP intracellular domain (AICD) and amyloid beta (Aβ), and consequently modify the intrinsic excitability […]

Proteomic signature profiling in the cortex of dairy cattle unravels the physiology of brain aging

IntroductionAging is a physiological process occurring in all living organisms. It is characterized by a progressive deterioration of the physiological and cognitive functions of the organism, accompanied by a gradual impairment of mechanisms involved in the regulation of tissue and organ homeostasis, thus exacerbating the risk of developing pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.MethodsIn the […]
