BACKGROUND: MAPT is a causative gene in frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), a hereditary degenerative disease with various clinical manifestations, including progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syn...
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating disease that is accompanied by dementia, and its incidence increases with age. However, no interventions have exhibited clear therapeutic effects. We aimed to develop and characterize behavioural tasks that all...
We aimed to develop behavioral tasks that can identify early signs of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in order to facilitate the development of preventative and therapeutic interventions.
Neurodegenerative diseases involving pathological tau protein aggregation are collectively known as tauopathies and include Alzheimer's disease and Pick's disease. Recent studies show that the intake of tryptophan-tyrosine (Trp-Tyr)-related β-lact...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is a constitutively active kinase. Since its activation results in neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) deposits in aged and Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, GSK-3β may be inhibited under normal conditions but activate...
