Aperçu du projet

his proposal is based on our finding of substantial depletion of neurofilament synthesis in mouse models of ALS with abnormal accumulations of TDP-43, a hallmark of the disease. This is due to a selective block of NF-L synthesis on ribosome machinery that is explained by the binding of excess cytoplasmic…

Aperçu du projet

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure, leading to progressive loss of motor function and ultimately the death of the patient. While it is known that patients with ALS experience changes in certain brain regions, the relationships between these brain-related changes, patient symptoms, and survival…

Aperçu du projet

An imbalance between excitation and inhibition is one of the earliest detectable features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In fact, changes in the inhibitory synaptic system appears to be central to this imbalance and the modulation of this system using potassium-chloride co-transporter 2 (KCC2)-enhancing compounds have proven to be an…

Aperçu du projet

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder with no known cure, leading to progressive loss of motor function and ultimately the death of the patient. While it is known that patients with ALS experience brain changes, particularly in motor areas, the relationships between brain-related changes, patient symptom profiles, and…

Aperçu du projet

Rationale: Cortical hyperexcitability has been identified to be a potential driver of ALS pathology leading to excitotoxicity and degeneration of upper motor neurons (UMNs)in the primary motor cortex (M1) and the subsequent degeneration of lower motor neurons (LMNs) in the spinal cord. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neurophysiological…
