Alzheimer's disease: the amyloid hypothesis and the Inverse Warburg effect

Pierre Magistretti

Epidemiological and biochemical studies show that the sporadic forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are characterized by the following hallmarks: (a) An exponential increase with age; (b) Selective neuronal vulnerability; (c) Inverse cancer comorbidity. The p ...

Metabolic gene expression changes in astrocytes in Multiple Sclerosis cerebral cortex are indicative of immune-mediated signaling

Pierre Magistretti, Igor Allaman

Emerging as an important correlate of neurological dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), extended focal and diffuse gray matter abnormalities have been found and linked to clinical manifestations such as seizures, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. To in ...

Control of Mitochondrial pH by Uncoupling Protein 4 in Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Hélène Danielle Perreten Lambert, Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain activity is energetically costly and requires a steady and highly regulated flow of energy equivalents between neural cells. It is believed that a substantial share of cerebral glucose, the major source of energy of the brain, will preferentially be ...

FOXO3 determines the accumulation of alpha-synuclein and controls the fate of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Juan-Carlos Sarria, Emilda Pino, Lu Zheng

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the selective degeneration of neuronal populations presumably due to pathogenic interactions between aging and predisposing factors such as increased levels of a-synuclein. Here, we genetically modulate the acti ...

Connexin 30 sets synaptic strength by controlling astroglial synapse invasion

Graham Knott, Nicole Déglon

Astrocytes play active roles in brain physiology by dynamic interactions with neurons. Connexin 30, one of the two main astroglial gap-junction subunits, is thought to be involved in behavioral and basic cognitive processes. However, the underlying cellula ...

Cortical Control of Whisker Movement

Carl Petersen

Facial muscles drive whisker movements, which are important for active tactile sensory perception in mice and rats. These whisker muscles are innervated by cholinergic motor neurons located in the lateral facial nucleus. The whisker motor neurons receive s ...

A Hierarchical Structure of Cortical Interneuron Electrical Diversity Revealed by Automated Statistical Analysis

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Sean Lewis Hill, Idan Segev

Although the diversity of cortical interneuron electrical properties is well recognized, the number of distinct electrical types (e-types) is still a matter of debate. Recently, descriptions of interneuron variability were standardized by multiple laborato ...

Age-related cognitive impairments in mice with a conditional ablation of the neural cell adhesion molecule

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, David Genoux

Most of the mechanisms involved in neural plasticity support cognition, and aging has a considerable effect on some of these processes. The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) of the immunoglobulin superfamily plays a pivotal role in structural and functi ...
