Calcium (Ca2+) is a fundamental ion for cellular homeostasis, serving as a signaling molecule for numerous intracellular events in the neuron. At rest its concentration is around nanomolar and during neuronal activity this concentration can reach millimolar values. The rise and decay of intracellular Ca2+ occurs mainly by specific mechanisms in cell membranes. Among these mechanisms, ther…
The proposed experiments aim to uncover how, amidst constant metabolic turnover in the brain, memories are stored and become stable, durable and persistent through time. The novelty and significance of this line of work is that little is known concerning the mechanisms underlying memories processed and stored by the juvenile, developing mammalian brain and how they might affect memory pro…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized as a chronic neurodegenerative disorder that affects the individual in adulthood. The brain neurodegenerative process may remain asymptomatic for a long period of time preceding the decline in learning and memory functions, an early sign of pathological changes in AD. Thus, the main challenge is the identification of cellular changes that allow in…
The proposed project aims to study how, amid the constant metabolic demand of the brain, memories are stored and become stable, durable and persist over time. The novelty and significance of this work is that little is known about the mechanisms supporting the memory processed and stored by the young brain, the developing brain. The studies described in the present proposal will contribut…
Dementia is a multifactorial disease affecting over 55 million people and stands as the seventh leading global cause of mortality. Numerous risk factors have been discerned, including genetics, environment, sociodemographics, lifestyle, and the presence of comorbidities. Diligent efforts to identify and mitigate these risk factors hold the potential to significantly curtail dementia's pre…
