1st Edition
Synaptic Plasticity in Neurodegenerative Disorders
This book explores the pivotal role of synaptic plasticity in the pathogenesis, progression, and potential treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. The initial chapter provides an in-depth understanding of the complexity and impact of neurodegenerative conditions. It discusses the association of mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic influences, and neuroinflammation with synaptic plasticity in neurodegenerative diseases. The following chapters review the dynamic changes that occur at the cellular and synaptic levels in Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, and Huntington's Disease, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, the book presents various computational tools and methodologies essential for enhancing our understanding of synaptic plasticity. It examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence tools in addressing synaptic impairment across various neurodegenerative diseases. Towards the end, the book explores the role of synaptic impairment and computational neuroscience in understanding and potentially treating conditions such as multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. With its multifaceted approach, this book serves as a useful resource for researchers, clinicians, and students in the fields of neuroscience, computational biology, and neurology.
