The implications could be broad. Abnormalities in synaptic signaling have been linked to conditions like autism, Alzheimer's disease and substance use disorders.

The scientists then investigated the cellular, biochemical, and electrophysiological consequences of PSEN2 loss or dysfunction on synaptic signaling within hippocampal circuitry. While they found ...

This prompts transcription of OXPHOS genes and production of ATP, which fuels export of GluA1 and other surface receptors needed for synaptic transmission. With aging (dashed lines), disengagement of ...
