150 - Mechanisms of Synaptic Transmission in Alzheimer's Disease: March 2021

Follow along with Glory in this episode, as we dive into papers that try to uncover the link between changes in synaptic transmission and plasticity with cognitive decline and memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. We'll discuss the most recent research on molecular and structural mechanisms at the synapse that underlie Alzheimer's pathology! Tune in for topics such as presynaptic SNAREs, postsynaptic ion channels, neurotransmitter signalling and more!

We would like to thank our amazing team for all of the work that goes into every episode of AMiNDR. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Glory Nasseri, reviewed by Ellen Koch, and edited by Lara Onbasi. The bibliography was created by Tarini Boparei and the wordcloud was generated by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). Big thanks to the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in March into themes for our episodes, and to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Jacques Ferreira, for keeping everything running smoothly.

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.

If you are interested in joining the team, send us your CV by email. We are specifically looking for help with sorting abstracts by topic, abstract summaries and hosting, creating bibliographies, and promotions. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
