Neuronal hyperexcitability in the cortex and hippocampus represents an early event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a recent study, Blankenship and colleagues reported that in a mouse of AD, ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons are also hyperexcitable, and this hyperexcitability is due to casein kinase 2 (CK2)-dependent SK channel dysfunction, adding new insights into the underlying mechanisms of aberrant neuronal properties in AD.
大脑皮层和海马体中的神经元过度兴奋是阿尔茨海默病(AD)的早期事件。在最近的一项研究中,布兰肯希普及其同事报告称,在AD小鼠中,腹侧被盖区(VTA)多巴胺能神经元也存在过度兴奋,且这种过度兴奋是由酪蛋白激酶2(CK2)依赖性SK通道功能障碍所致,这为AD中异常神经元特性的潜在机制提供了新见解。
