Journal ArticleDOI

Microzonal decreases in the immunostaining for non-NMDA ionotropic excitatory amino acid receptor subunits GluR 2/3 and GluR 5/6/7 in the human epileptogenic neocortex.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in the human epileptogenic neocortex there may be alterations in particular excitatory and/or inhibitory synaptic systems at small, multiple neocortical foci, and that these alterations are found mostly in the same regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal tau phosphorylation in the thorny excrescences of CA3 hippocampal neurons in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is presented here the rather unexpected discovery that in AD, there is conspicuous abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein in a selective subset of dendritic spines that are typical thorny excrescences of hippocampal CA3 neurons in a pre-tangle state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial distribution of neurons innervated by chandelier cells

TL;DR: This work made use of a genetic targeting strategy to label neocortical ChCs in upper layers of juvenile mouse neocortex to examine the circuit connectivity of chandelier cells and found that individual ChCs may exert a strong, widespread influence on their local pyramidal neighbors in a spatially heterogeneous fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional analysis of synapses in the transentorhinal cortex of Alzheimer’s disease patients

TL;DR: There is a dramatic loss of absolute number of synapses in the TEC of patients with AD, while the morphology of synaptic junctions and synaptic spatial distribution are maintained, and how these changes affect cognitive impairment in AD remains to be elucidated.
