* Cognition is preserved despite substantial cortical
thinning along life span.
* Brain reorganization and plasticity overcomes cognitive
damage from acute and extensive brain destruction.

• How to study functional alterations in the
neurotransmitter receptors that are
fundamental for neuronal activity and the
target of toxic oligomers?

Differences:
• Arrangement of the subunits to form
the receptor
• Auxiliary subunits
• Subunits ratio abundance
(across brain region and ontogeny)
• transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs)
• cornichon homologues (CNIHs)
• cysteine-knot AMPAR modulating proteins 44 (CKAMP44)
• germ cell-specific gene 1-like (GSG1L) protein.

• AMPA receptors from frozen brains can be reactivated
and recorded by TEVC.
• Amplitude of synaptic receptors’ currents correlate
with synaptic elements at the proteomic level.
• Function of receptors provide global directionality to
signaling pathways that are commonly found altered
in brain disorders.

Increased cellular E/I in PCx AD
Lauterborn et al, Nat Comm, 2021
43
1. The PCx and TCx in AD show strong loss of excitatory
and inhibitory synapses
2. The impairment of synapses is unequal leading to
increased transcriptional, anatomical and functional E/I
synaptic imbalance
3. Pro-excitatory imbalance in AD may explain the
hyperexcitability observed in the DMN, which at early stages
interferes with the encoding of memory, and promotes
activity-dependent release of Ab and Tau oligomers

  1. During all our life we consistently lose neurons and synaptic complexity with only mild changes in cognitive function. We can lose a third of or cortical thikness and still live a normal life. Every man in purple and women in green across life in cognitively normal people. For example kids or teenagers that undergo complete resection of half the brain, due to intractable epilepsy can see only a mild to moderate loss of cognitively function. Even when the left hemisphere is removed. This is quite remarkable since major areas associated with speech are in the left hemisphere. But reorganization of the right hemisphere allow to remergence of speech. While persistent epilepsy produces cognitive impairment, the loss of half of the brain has only a moderate effect on cognition. Actually people with only half the brain go on to have functional and successful lives.
  2. Auxiliary subunits play a critical role in the facilitation and regulation
  3. To gather this information, we used the microtransplantation of synaptic membranes method (MSM). Briefly, synaptosomes are isolated from frozen tissue, the synaptosomes are lised to form small vesicles that containing the human membranes with their receptors and synaptic complexes, and these protoeliposomes are injected into Xenopus oocytes, which are 1mm in diameter and strong enough to resist the process. The human membranes fuse with the membrane of the oocyte and then we can apply agonists of the receptors to observe their responses. Xenopus oocytes do not express endogenous GABA or glutamate receptors, therefore responses elicited by the agonists are mediated by microtransplanted human receptors. 45 s
  4. For these experiments we used frozen DLPFC of 10 CTRL and 10 SZ matched by Age, PMI, and as closely as possibly by pH and RIN. There was a slight statistically significant difference in pH and RIN between CTRL and SZ. This parameters were included as covariates in the analysis of the data. Enriched synaptosomal preparations from the DLPFC were used for MSM experiments and for label free proteomic analysis. An adjacent dlpfc section was used for RNA Seq. RNA seq
  5. The severe cognitive impairment and disability observed in patients with AD is a logical consequence of the loss of brain volume at late stages of AD. Postmortem analysis show substantial loss of gray and white matter and the presence of the neuropathological change that define AD: which is he presence of Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Many decades of research have consistently show that the loss of dendritic spines and synaptic density is the best correlate of cognitive impairment. However, it is important to note that loss of neurons or even loss of brain regions does not necessarily mean loss of cognitive function. For example.
