Synaptic Plasticity and Alzheimer’s Disease
Cerebral elevation and accumulation of A1-42 peptide in many aspects of AD mediated pathogenesis.
Oligomeric forms of A1-42 in the extracellular space correlates with cognitive decline and synaptic alterations (impairment of LTP, inflammation, fibrillization)

Target and Strategy
Using a combination of biochemistry, molecular biology and electrophysiology, the project will explore whether soluble A regulates enzymes and postsynaptic protein-protein interactions involved in LTP and LTD.
Molecules of interest include PSD-95, GRIP1, PICK1, AMPARs, caspase and neuronal calcium sensors.

Multi-Photon Imaging Technique
Multi-photon microscopy enables high resolution imaging in brain tissue (e.g. slices and in vivo).
Confocal microscopy is limited to thin tissue preparations (cell cultures or organotypic slices)
1 m
High resolution multi-photon image: dendrite with spines
