292 - Synaptic Transmission in Alzheimer's Disease: June 2022

AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

We are kicking off our June 2022 series of episodes with this short and sweet episode. Anusha takes a look at papers published on the subject of changes to synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability in Alzheimer’s disease. If you're interested in bridging the gap between changes to neuronal function and behavioural consequences, this episode is a great place to start!

Sections in this episode:

Changes to neurotransmission and neuronal excitability (2.44)

Changes to movement/learning and memory (11.06)

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 Ellen Koch. The bibliography and wordcloud were 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 June 2022, the sorters were Sarah Louadi, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Naila Kuhlmann, and Elyn Rowe. Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Lara Onbasi 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.
