267 - Synaptic Transmission in Alzheimer's Disease: January 2022

We start off our January 2022 series of AMiNDR with this episode highlighting 9 papers on changes to synaptic transmission in Alzheimer's Disease. In this episode, Anusha will cover topics including changes to GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission and calcium flux in AD-affected neurons. We also have papers looking at age-dependent changes in synaptic function in AD. End neuro-transmission ;) 

Sections in this episode:  

Changes to GABAergic transmission (2.41)  

Changes to calcium flux (6.42)  

Changes to glutamateric transmission (8.38)  

Age-dependent changes in AD (13.11)

Please help us spread the word about AMiNDR to your friends, colleagues, and networks! And if you could leave us a rating and/or review on your streaming app of choice (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to the podcast), that would be greatly appreciated! It helps us a lot and we thank you in advance for leaving a review! Don’t forget to subscribe to hear about new episodes as they come out too. 

Thank you to our sponsor, the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging, or CCNA, for their financial support of this podcast. This helps us to stay on the air and bring you high quality episodes. You can find out more about the CCNA on their website: https://ccna-ccnv.ca/. 

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Anusha Kamesh, and reviewed by Christy Yu and Ellen Koch. The bibliography was made by Anjana Rajendran and the wordcloud was created by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For January 2022, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Christy Yu, Kate Van Pelt, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Elyn Rowe and Ellen Koch. Also, props 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, audio editing, creating bibliographies, and outreach/marketing. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
