Donepezil-Based Rational Design of N-Substituted Quinazolinthioacetamide Candidates as Potential Acetylcholine Esterase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: In vitro and In vivo Studies

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stands as one of the most outstanding progressive neurodegenerative disorders. Obviously, acetylcholine esterase (AChE) is the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine (ACh) with a much more prominent effect than butyrylcholine esterase (BuChE). Hence, novel quinazoline derivatives (3a-p) were designed and synthesized as AChE inhibitors for AD treatment. The newly synthesized… Continue reading Donepezil-Based Rational Design of N-Substituted Quinazolinthioacetamide Candidates as Potential Acetylcholine Esterase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: In vitro and In vivo Studies

Adolescent Cerebellar Nuclei Manipulation Alters Reversal Learning and Perineuronal Net Intensity Independently in Male and Female Mice

The cerebellum, identified to be active during cognitive and social behavior, has multisynaptic connections through the cerebellar nuclei (CN) and thalamus to cortical regions, yet formation and modulation of these pathways are not fully understood. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) respond to changes in local cellular activity and emerge during development. PNNs are implicated in learning and… Continue reading Adolescent Cerebellar Nuclei Manipulation Alters Reversal Learning and Perineuronal Net Intensity Independently in Male and Female Mice

Motor Functional Hierarchical Organization of Cerebrum and Its Underlying Genetic Architecture in Parkinsons Disease

Hierarchy has been identified as a principle underlying the organization of human brain networks. However, it remains unclear how the network hierarchy is disrupted in Parkinson’s disease (PD) motor symptoms and how it is modulated by the underlying genetic architecture. The aim of this study was to explore alterations in the motor functional hierarchical organization… Continue reading Motor Functional Hierarchical Organization of Cerebrum and Its Underlying Genetic Architecture in Parkinsons Disease
