INTERACTIONS BETWEEN EXCITOTOXICITY AND LYSOSOMAL INHIBITION: IMPLICATIONS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DlSEASE PATHOGENESIS. BY Michael Paul Murphy Doctor of Philosophy, 1998 Department of Psychology, University of Toronto ABSTRACT The peptide p-amyloid (AB) is believed to be the crucial elernent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, being terminally responsible for neuronal death and ensuing dementia. Lysosomal inhibition alters the processing of the p-amyloid precursor protein (PAPP), from which AP is derived, such that potentially amyloidogenic fragments (fpAPP) accumulate intracellularly, largely within lysosomes. Although it has been hypothesized that the lysosornal dysfunction accompanying normal aging (and modeled with lysosomal inhibitors) may be connected to AD, the consequences of this manipulation on the CNS are not known, nor is the potential importance of intracellular Ap (iAP) understood. Hence, rnonkeys, rats and PAPP transgenic mice received direct brain infusions (i.c.v.) of the lysosornal inhibitors leupeptin or chloroquine (CHL) for up to 2 months. Both chernicals caused an increase in iAP, but did not cause significant neuronal death. Both also caused a strong astrocytic response, and CHL caused blood- brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. These changes do not resemble major aspects of AD pathology. It has been shown that AD is associated with neurotrauma, such as head injury, and that excitotoxic processes cause similar degenerative changes. Also, AP renders cultured neurons vulnerable to excitotoxic damage. Therefore, if dysfunctional lysosomes and iAp represent a risk factor for AD, excitotoxins such as kainic acid (KA) may combine synergistically with lysosomal inhibitors. Hence, CHL (over a range of systemic doses and i.c.v.; 1 week, mice and rats) was combined wi-th KA foilowed by a 1 week survival period; multiple behavioral and histological analyses were conducted at several time points. Accumulation of iAB was evident at high doses. as was astrocytic activation. No deficits in sensorimotor ability (balance, muscle strength, vision, exploratory behavior) were detected. However, animais given KA and doses of CHL sufhkient to cause iAp accumulation were markedly impaired on the Moms watermaze test of spatial learning and exhibited increased lirnbic system damage, particularly in the amygdala. These results indicate that although iAP may not be irnmediately hanful. it may nevertheless be coupied to a pathogenic process relevant to the development of AD and should be further exarnined in the context of the development of appropriate treatment strategies. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Next to the torture of constnicting a coherent introduction out of the roughly 6000+ AD related articles in the past 5 or 6 years. I could make a case for this being one of the toughest sections to Wte. Ifs difficult to find the tight words to do justice to the contributions that everyone has made to this work (ordeal?), and at times it seems Iike I'm selling them short. On the other hand, I also feel like I'rn giving an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards, and that I'm going to be dragged off the stage at any minute. So ....... be patient. it's a long one. My loving wife Sharon has to appear at the top of the list. For her, the words don't exist to describe how good she's been throughout this whole experience. I've been told that if your mamage can survive a thesis, there just 'ain't much more to worry about. You've stuck with me through the whole anluous journey - the long hours, the sacrifices. and my (sometimes very) short temper. Kitten, I love you al! the more for your patience, and look to the future with the cornfort that you'll always be there for me (and that we can spend more time together. after I do al1 those dishes). Aithough they may not know it, over the years my friends have provided indispensable support and encouragement. Thanks to Bruce, Doug. Faiz. Jared, Jason and Steve for getting me through those critical formative years and helping me to develop my creative edge. as well as fostering my skills of global domination. I owe a special debt to Steve for allowing me ample practice at those special abilities that al1 lrishmen need. as well as much of my Pythonesque sense of humor and affinity for lampposts. Well done. Brother Fat Man! Thanks are also in order for al1 of the regular Euchre and weekend crowd. for providing much needed distraction and ail round good times. Thanks to Brian and Crystal Leila for all those dusk-til-dam card sessions (in spite of Crystal's frightening dominance). and Marc and Leona Nicholas for some of the most mernorable pub crawl moments (the best of which, unfortunately. cannot be mentioned in print). You guys are great, and I would've went totally mental without you. I would never have made it this far if it weren't for the mutual love and support of my parents, Michael and Sylvia Murphy, and their patience with their son (the perpetual student) in letting me find my own path. My other set of parents, Jennie and Jirn Sword, have been terrific in lending that little bit of extra encouragement when needed. Over the years, you've al1 shown genuine interest and enthusiasm for my sometimes cryptic studies, and let me know that 1 wasn't working in a vacuum. My sister, Joanne McCluskey, has always ken there for me when I needed her. From the .... aggressive interactions of our youth (and all those times that I forœd her to endure Dr. Who), to all those long hours at the zoo, introducing me to bingo, and being one of rny closest fnends and confidants - love 'ya, Acha! In the same breath, I couldn't have asked for a better brother in law in Paul. For my etemal comrade in numerous video game extravaganzas (thanks to JO for permitting al1 those hours at the TV, with only occasional psychotic explosions - wocka-wocka-wocka), the many mernorable laughs (Mr. Snuffalopagos, ah, cornes to mind - better get a iife preserver!), and al1 the late night conversations, I have only these words of wisdom: Always gain groond, show no mercy, and remember - you ... are rny number one .... *guy?l I probably would never have made it as a grad student if it weren't for rny close friend and nearly constant cornpanion, Liz (now Dr.) Head. It still amazes me that after al1 these years we can still get together and talk (more like free association. as you say) for 12+ hours. Notice how the campus pub collapsed affer we stopped going - coincidence? I think not. Magic cards, cribbage, bingo, Washington, Miami, hurricanes (real and the bar), pumpkin carving, Washington (again, but better), and a legendary pub crawl through the streets of Toronto.. ....shall 1 go on? Hey! Take mre, MFB. While still on the lab front, thanks to al1 those who've been my cornrades and cornpanions over the years. To those that are long gone, Dr. Mona Sazgar, Mark Hlousek, Andrew Kohn, Janina Ferbinteanu and Chris Reid...... thanks for the memories? Thanks to Mike Michael for al1 the enlightened philosophical banter, and Dr. Moshe Khurgei for showing me the ropes and for some unforgettable Neuroscience Meeting moments (particularly in wind swept Miami). For John Rick, thanks for the many years of good conversation in lounge number 2. the months of gaming (no doubt delaying both our dissertations), and, uh, teaching me the compulsive side of science. And where would I be without my fellow gossip manger and sometimes roornmate. Candace Douglas? Insane, perhaps? Good luck - 1 already miss you. This work would not have been possible without the friendship and lengthy technical assistance of John Mielke (to the Milgram lab!) and Suzi Barsoum (friend-who- is-a-girl), whose loyalty to the project was never questioned. Thanks for patiently listening to al[ my manic ranting and giving me years of more fun than one penon should have in a lab O' rats (roll Conan soundtrack, please). Many others have contributed to vaflous components of these studies: Aliœ Koo, Monika Kaila, Jonathan Maritz, Karen Bengualid, Asheer Sharma, Rahim Hiji, Rishi Narine, Chnstina Beckett, Amin Ladak. Deva Thinichelvam, and Hance Clarke. Thanks also to latecorners Lara Chebaro and Luke Shannon for fiiling in the detaiis, the interesting textures, and the indispensable humor. Thanks to the Wild Strawberrïes. Bj6rk, Depeche Mode. New Order and Erasure for providing the atmosphere. Much thanks to Dr. Bill Milgram, who's been a good friend and colleague, and has yielded many items of gmd advice over an equal number of good beers.

As you all know, electrophysiological brain research has a long tradition going back as far as 1875 when the first report on the animal electroencephalogram (EEG) was published by Caton. The often forgotten Polish physiologist Adolf Beck was also a EEG pioneer many years before Hans Berger’s initial reports. Beck recorded electrical potentials in several brain areas evoked by peripheral sensory stimuli. Using this technique, Beck localised various centres in the brain of several animal species and described desynchronization in electrical brain potentials.

  • Functional Connectivity Changes in Cerebral Small
    Schulz et al. BMC Medicine (2021) 19:103 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-021-01962-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Functional connectivity changes in cerebral small vessel disease - a systematic review of the resting-state MRI literature Maximilian Schulz1, Caroline Malherbe1,2, Bastian Cheng1, Götz Thomalla1 and Eckhard Schlemm1* Abstract Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common neurological disease present in the ageing population that is associated with an increased risk of dementia and stroke. Damage to white matter tracts compromises the substrate for interneuronal connectivity. Analysing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can reveal dysfunctional patterns of brain connectivity and contribute to explaining the pathophysiology of clinical phenotypes in CSVD. Materials and methods: This systematic review provides an overview of methods and results of recent resting- state functional MRI studies in patients with CSVD. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol, a systematic search of the literature was performed. Results: Of 493 studies that were screened, 44 reports were identified that investigated resting-state fMRI connectivity in the context of cerebral small vessel disease. The risk of bias and heterogeneity of results were moderate to high. Patterns associated with CSVD included disturbed connectivity within and between intrinsic brain networks, in particular the default mode, dorsal attention, frontoparietal control, and salience networks; decoupling of neuronal activity along an anterior–posterior axis; and increases in functional connectivity in the early stage of the disease. Conclusion: The recent literature provides further evidence for a functional disconnection model of cognitive impairment in CSVD.

  • Rehabilitation of Executive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis: Cognitive, Behavioural and Neurophysiological Effects of Goal Management Training
    Rehabilitation of Executive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis: Cognitive, Behavioural and Neurophysiological Effects of Goal Management Training by Nadine Marie Richard A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Psychology University of Toronto © Copyright by Nadine Marie Richard 2013 Rehabilitation of Executive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis: Cognitive, Behavioural and Neurophysiological Effects of Goal Management Training Nadine Marie Richard Doctor of Philosophy Department of Psychology University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive central nervous system disease characterized by distributed white matter injury. Particularly prevalent in Canada, MS is a leading cause of disability with extended personal and societal costs given its early onset (on average between 20- 40 years of age). Deficits in executive functioning are common and detrimental to employment, daily functioning and quality of life, however their precise nature remains underspecified. Two studies were undertaken to: (1) describe the executive processes affected in MS, including neurophysiological correlates, and (2) explore, in a double-blind randomized controlled trial, patients’ response to an intervention for improving behavioural self-regulation. Study 1 described significant functional limitations and impairments in processing speed and executive control of attention, memory and working memory in MS patients, both relative to neurologically healthy controls and as a monotonic function of disease severity. Mean amplitudes for event- related potentials (ERPs) including the P3 and the error-related negativity and positivity (ERN, Pe) were linked to behavioural markers of attention control and performance monitoring. ERP amplitudes and ERP-behavioural associations appeared sensitive to the presence and severity of executive dysfunction related to disease progression.

  • Hirano Bodies Differentially Modulate Cell Death Induced
    Spears et al. BMC Neuroscience 2014, 15:74 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2202/15/74 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Hirano bodies differentially modulate cell death induced by tau and the amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain William Spears1†, Matthew Furgerson1,2†, John Michael Sweetnam1, Parker Evans1, Marla Gearing3, Marcus Fechheimer1 and Ruth Furukawa1* Abstract Background: Hirano bodies are actin-rich paracrystalline inclusions found in brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and in normal aged individuals. Although studies of post-mortem brain tissue provide clues of etiology, the physiological function of Hirano bodies remains unknown. A cell culture model was utilized to study the interactions of mutant tau proteins, model Hirano bodies, and GSK3β in human astrocytoma cells. Results: Most tau variants showed co-localization with model Hirano bodies. Cosedimentation assays revealed this interaction may be direct, as recombinant purified forms of tau are all capable of binding F-actin. Model Hirano bodies had no effect or enhanced cell death induced by tau in the absence of amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain (AICD). In the presence of AICD and tau, synergistic cell death was observed in most cases, and model Hirano bodies decreased this synergistic cell death, except for forms of tau that caused significant cell death in the presence of Hirano bodies only. A role for the kinase GSK3β is suggested by the finding that a dominant negative form of GSK3β reduces this synergistic cell death. A subset of Hirano bodies in brain tissue of both Alzheimer’s disease and normal aged individuals was found to contain tau, with some Hirano bodies in Alzheimer’s disease brains containing hyperphosphorylated tau.
