00:08 This is lecture 20. For cellular we talked about migraines. Last lecture

00:15 talked about uh Professor Aristides the hour the traveling wave of leah low or

00:24 critical spreading depression as a mechanism that the pain perception. So we talked

00:32 this whole cycle of trigeminal and trigeminal thalamus activation, singular cortex activation and

00:42 perception of pain and that perception of is coming from this of mechanisms that

00:49 discussed. Um no susceptible information from meninges, transient global amnesia and the

01:00 and the pathways that are involved in we think is initiating cortical spreading depression

01:07 and also the perception of pain that have during migrants that are defined by

01:17 headaches. And so there are cellular and glutamate levels in particular and potassium

01:25 to sell you really grow up and a cellular level you have this deep

01:32 with a few action potentials. We the differences between pre excel it'll postdoctoral

01:40 and seizures. We discussed how there intellectual phases and seizures and that helps

01:48 with diagnostics uh Sometimes even with E . G. Diagnosis of seizure activity

01:54 picking up the intellectual bursts. And talked about how there's a difference in

01:59 spreading depression network produces a few action but overall it is silent and this

02:05 polarization kind of a potential that is prolonged and it's a very slowly traveling

02:15 The two hypothesis. But csD is sally with lighter made extra cellular

02:23 We talked about how you can recreate spreading depression using different models such as

02:31 potassium chloride glutamate application. Anything that increase glutamate levels of blocking glutamate

02:39 potentially manipulation of certain potassium pump, stimulation, hypothermia, local injury,

02:48 frequency pulse stimulation. There are more metric changes with severe migrant nurses in

02:58 . And there are functional imaging changes severe migrant nurse and what I discussed

03:05 I pointed out several areas, mostly areas, no matter of sensor

03:09 One but also the auditory areas in visual areas uh in the occipital lobe

03:17 same for functional imaging. There are and glutamate increase in gabba decrease which

03:25 be similar to the chemical imbalance we in seizures and there are also changes

03:31 signaling, increased signaling and functional imaging primary visual so matter sensory s warm

03:41 temporal paul areas here in the temporal . Um medication for relief because we

03:49 about various from pain relievers and all juices. Adam said it's energetic prescription

03:58 over the counter pain relievers, prescription medications are allergic calcitonin, opioid

04:06 nausea drugs and preventative medications that we about, I have to share on

04:18 level. Sorry with this. So if you're searching for some general information

04:28 neurological diseases, a place like National of neurological disorders and stroke can be

04:38 good resource for finding general information for yourself some definitions for example, but

04:47 you read about what migraine is fundamental abnormalities caused by genetic mutations that's worked

04:58 the brain. New models are aiding and studying the basic science involved in

05:04 biological cascade genetic components and mechanisms of . So we really focused on the

05:11 and the cellular mechanisms of migraine and a little bit about the therapies and

05:16 similarities and differences with epilepsy and seizures particular, or cortical spreading depression.

05:23 cellular mechanism of migraines with seizure seizure activity mechanisms for epilepsy. I have

05:32 components. Understanding of the causes of as well in advance that the fact

05:36 will give researchers the opportunity development as could be more targeted to preventing or

05:42 attacks entirely. And so it mentions treating migraine magnesium, why would you

05:50 magnesium treatment? Magnesium walks in NBA after? So you're reducing this glue

05:56 signal and it comes on cue I don't know the cellular mechanisms,

06:01 B 12. There's a lot of . So there's things that you can

06:04 on your own information from National medicine channel, I am potassium channel

06:16 So, for example, if you talking about one of the mechanisms that

06:21 us abnormality and there's two hypothesis potassium glutamate. So if you have potassium

06:30 , how can you get to abnormal state? Well genetically you may have

06:36 channel empathy and potassium channels and that channel, for example would stay open

06:42 for for for for for too long or too short. There's many different

06:52 that happened. So you can actually for some of these things on your

06:59 . The basics living with genetics So if you look at the genetics

07:08 , the vomiting. Familial hemiplegic that's what show us. Familial hemiplegic

07:15 is a form of migraine that runs families. So this is genetic migrants

07:21 cause intense throbbing pain in one area the head off from the company and

07:26 , vomiting extreme sensitivity to light The current headaches typically began in childhood

07:32 adolescence. So the onset is typically or adolescence um uh teenage years and

07:40 be triggered by certain foods. Emotional minor have trauma. Each headache may

07:44 a few hours a few days and types of migraine including the familiar at

07:50 pattern of neurological symptoms follows or precedes migrants. So these are great resources

07:56 you have to see where are you this resources from MedlinePlus? Do you

08:03 MedlinePlus? While it's a part of National Library of Medicine. So I

08:06 say that this is probably good reasons the neurological disorders and stroke and

08:11 M. D. S. Is good resource. Where else can you

08:17 ? The resources? You know? of course and a lot of you

08:22 how to use that. And so I did is um but please review

08:38 figures, I just forgot to record . So this talks about the parasympathetic

08:46 to the brain stem as a son increased parasympathetic tone activation of my

08:53 epicenter general vascular pathway. Then you a bison dilation and releases inflammatory molecules

09:00 then you have activation of this tree complex and the brainstem during the wave

09:09 precedes the cortical spreading depression. You're rises in potassium, a lot of

09:14 recorded in E. G. But necessarily very clearly synchronized during this prolonged

09:20 polarization that has sustained the decreased deep on this wave of cortical spreading

09:26 moving slowly through the brain. Not will come to this image which basically

09:32 us that now we have this vessel . We have peripheral to germinal after

09:38 that are innovating the identities of cerebral or communicating that bastard violation and inflammatory

09:47 going on input from areas supplied by trigeminal nerve including peri orbital scans.

09:54 there are three trigeminal, there are aspects of this V one V two

09:59 three that formed the trigeminal nerve. is not a digital system, he

10:05 . Three components at turns from skins muscles of neck and virgin neurons and

10:11 TCC. Okay, they converge into TCC which is trigeminal cervical complex right

10:21 in the in the brain stem together the appearance arriving from the meninges from

10:30 vascular so there's a convergence of inputs all over trigeminal Merck and his visor

10:39 colliding here from TCC ascending connections from DCC transmit signals to multiple brain stem

10:48 . Hypothalamic, basal ganglion nuclear, and multiple cortical areas process the inputs

10:54 the DCC, leading to the phenotype a typical expression of migrant pain and

11:00 associated symptoms. So this is how perceive the pain and migraine pain and

11:10 a headache pain. Of course that a lot of migraines maybe in

11:15 had a similar mechanisms to migrants, the perception of pain even in headaches

11:21 be singular to migraines. And so important to understand there is no pain

11:26 in the brain. So this is whole cascade signaling cascade of events that

11:33 to the perception of page and then gets into this neuronal neuronal and you

11:42 , we all signaling release of gene related peptide that I won't burden

11:49 with. But this is an article is uploaded on your lecture supporting reading

11:56 . Uh and I recommend for you read it because I'm a place a

12:00 for more detailed question on this exam from this particular. Mhm. So

12:13 lecture, the second half of this , probably the last new material that

12:19 going to cover is an Alzheimer's The first slide says epilepsy and

12:25 Why is that? Because there's something on. And of course as as

12:32 know this is figure one on the shows seizure disorders of all the

12:41 So it doesn't mind of usa. python ah and all types of seizures

12:48 in the second half of life Beginning the age of 50. So first

12:54 all, if you look at Apple Sandstone owns and seizure different ideology.

13:02 is, you have a lot of at the early developmental years and into

13:11 teenage years and drops significantly and then starts speaking again in the population of

13:19 and over What's really interesting that if look at that population of 50-59 years

13:31 , the incidents ratio Of epilepsy and diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease is elevated nearly

13:44 fold at this age. Now, disease is an aging Population disease and

13:53 incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's increases after years old. And if you have

14:00 disease in this 50-59 year period, have 87 times more likely to have

14:10 and seizures from that likelihood and increase . It's about 20 times. This

14:18 87 times. This is about 20 in the group 60 to 69 in

14:24 group 70 to 79 it's still three more widely to have this co occurrence

14:36 . And so a lot of times is referred to as co morbidity.

14:41 with Alzheimer's may have seizures in epilepsy that means that it's not only Alzheimer's

14:47 is killing them, It's also the morbidity, it's making them die faster

14:53 and seizures. So the department from diseases is now, uh, the

14:58 of the farm, they give them Alzheimer's disease. And and it's interesting

15:06 we talked about for example, we talked about glutamate and gaba and

15:12 of the therapeutic mechanisms and controlling glutamate gaba. What we talked about

15:20 we talked about analgesics and we also serotonin the law. Um and there

15:29 opioids in there as well. When talk about Alzheimer's disease, we typically

15:36 about the seed locally and chemicals and single colony in is produced. And

15:46 if you nuclei in the brain that that the selma's that produces pseudo

15:55 they're rising. Okay, these modular systems, it's referred to as modular

16:01 system because it's a select group of , the medial septal nuclei and the

16:07 nucleus of main art. That's where are cells that produce versatile colony.

16:16 they project the civil code name through are called diffused projections into the sub

16:24 and into the new york protocol that's lot of making areas and into the

16:31 of course then tom to mesons seppala towel complex projects to the Thailand with

16:45 parts of before. Right. That's cool. So you have this Ponta

16:54 follow technical complex. It's obviously it's to foulness parts of the forebrain.

17:07 have the medial septal and Maynard that onto the hippocampus and onto the

17:17 So there is sort of a little of division of where these different nuclear

17:21 what parts of the brain they're But the fact of the matter is

17:26 is the main neurotransmitter and it's going have a real modular Torrey effect is

17:31 projections onto the brain. Alzheimer's If you look on a cellular

17:38 it has two distinct features. It amyloid plaques also called beta amyloid plaques

17:47 senile plaques and they are located extra intracellular literally neuro february tangles. So

17:56 are neurofibromatosis side of skeletal elements and have entanglement with the side of skeletal

18:03 that impact the transport inside the south the very ambivalent plaques impact the outside

18:14 we're following in the function of neurons glial cells. Because they aggregate these

18:21 normal um polytech tides and cause engage cells and cause a normal accumulation of

18:34 . So they become these calcified plaques the wheel cells form the we also

18:41 surround them and these plaques start impacting this neurons nearby. And it turns

18:50 that the axons of these neurons are sensitive. And once the axons started

18:55 affected by the amyloid plaques they can longer produce the action potentials. Therefore

19:01 isn't enough synaptic transmission and communication synaptic which can then lead the neuro

19:09 depression of the synopsis the death of synopsis, death of the neurons and

19:15 confined in with inflammatory processes that are when there is such abnormal formation of

19:22 analog flax. Then we'll have engaged inflammatory processes by the glial cells and

19:31 become uncontrollable, becoming sustained. This causing too much inflammation in the brain

19:38 one is called brain on flames. , if you look on the gross

19:44 level on the left, you have healthy brain and on the right you

19:50 a brain that has been affected by out some of those disease. And

19:56 can see that there's a tremendous shrinkage the overall brain tissue. There's a

20:03 on the shrinkage on the gray but also on the white matter.

20:09 these are the severe or advanced stages Alzheimer's disease. This is an artist's

20:17 surely amyloid plaques that are dispersed there neurons. These aggregations of misfolded programs

20:23 them. Kill brain cells and are of Alzheimer's disease. This is from

20:29 National institute on aging. Alzheimer's Jeans. And what we know about

20:38 concept of Alzheimer's disease. There's late of Alzheimer's disease which has been 60s

20:44 later or early onset of Alzheimer's which is this earlier group 50 and

20:50 some 1000 to late 40s. Typically the variant of the liberal protein E

20:57 police region on chromosome 19. Uh if you have a variant uh

21:06 you have an increased personal risk for disease. It's involved in principle lipid

21:15 in the brain A poorly comes in different forms or alleles. Each person

21:20 two April. We alloy wheels, from each biological terror so early

21:28 So the Alzheimer's disease is typically due the A. P. P.

21:33 precursor protein on chromosome 91 20 promise mine and I invented 1 21 and

21:45 on chromosome 14 3 single and two chromosome one. Each of these mutations

21:50 a role in the breakdown of a protein whose precise function is not the

21:57 will be understood. But this is P P will accumulate. The breakdown

22:06 part of the process that generates harmful of amyloid plaques. A hallmark of

22:14 disease, jesus dr Yeah, let's a quick question for the Alzheimer's

22:24 You know how one of the methods treatment that we have mentioned, I

22:28 in neuroscience and and in this class well was administering acetylcholine but within the

22:36 Kolding encounter the same problem. If is these plaques that are not That

22:43 blocking the communication between the two synopses not. Yeah, no, that

22:47 an excellent question. And I think of answering you here, I'm gonna

22:51 it in a few slides. Actually don't want. So, so let's

22:56 at this mechanism here. So you apple. We perform amyloid bayed eyes

23:07 primarily by neurons in the brain. number one, this is how you

23:15 this diagram. I don't know if can see it. Maybe I can

23:19 the marketing world and let's see if can. So where it's basically amyloid

23:41 producing neurons in the brain. It's or lipid dated april re secreted by

23:49 and astra sites. Okay so this A B. But today it is

23:59 then you have and the subsequent deposition relax in the diva. So you

24:06 this admiral data aggregation and you have plaque deposition. What's interesting is the

24:15 is very prone to seizures and hippocampus neocortex are also the sides with some

24:21 these plaques will start forming. Another fact is that these flax can migrate

24:27 the brain so they move there seems be almost like an invasion that starts

24:31 one part of the brain and then continues very slowly into the other parts

24:36 the ground. Mhm. So so then we get into more details on

24:47 amyloid beta uptake. Um So this a cell surface low density heparin sulfate

24:58 media under psychosis of amyloid beta by my career there's an endo psychosis going

25:07 In addition to promoting a production and of a beta april reform paris.

25:13 clearance by reducing solid little uptake and across the blood brain barrier. So

25:19 that is what this mutation also does . So you have basically the whole

25:28 circuit and it gets down to the the you know to the neuro toxicity

25:36 we fragmentation becomes neurotoxic have a beta outside and I'm alive. Beta formation

25:45 retrieve fragments in europe toxicity. It neurotoxic, it impacts the blood brain

25:52 and makes bloodrayne very leaky. It inflammation and turns on Rios is and

25:59 have no permanent inflammatory cytokine secretion by microbial cells leading to chronic neuro information

26:06 neuro degeneration. And you have obviously neuro degeneration in vivo. You can

26:19 the sin absence here following apartment number and now you have the chronic generation

26:25 these pro inflammatory processes that can become that can start breaking down my eliminated

26:33 and the synaptic connectivity and Sinatra So that one part answers the question

26:40 was just passed before amyloid plaques disrupt initial signals. So actually it's one

26:50 these interesting things that happen in your that you come up with a great

26:58 and you start doing the work. as you're doing that work and you

27:03 up with a great idea, you that great idea with your colleague and

27:10 neighboring institution Baylor College of Medicine and it happens and it's a really cool

27:17 and so he he pursues dr Matthew Baylor. This idea from our discussions

27:27 I've generated and he includes me in research that he's capable of doing in

27:33 way much better in a different way I was able to do it at

27:38 time. And the idea that I was to follow the idea was that

27:48 beta plaques are going to start impacting communication and they're gonna start impacting external

27:57 external signaling and they're gonna start impacting they'll drive from neurons. So I

28:07 there's this method here that's shown circle you have the exact distance the rings

28:15 come out of the stuff. So said you know what we have these

28:22 that have the plaques. And so can look at this E. P

28:27 T T. A. It's a mouse model so that you're looking at

28:34 from the top right hand green our flame and S stain which will stain

28:41 the beta amyloid plaques. And you see that at 11 months you can

28:49 a lot of these very bright dots light up everywhere dominating in the cortex

28:55 also in Hippocampus and support it fully well. So now I said we

29:02 where those blacks are. Said why we use this method? And by

29:06 way this method of the rings was used to he described morphology ah and

29:17 extent of the processes such as dendrites axles coming off the stained neurons.

29:25 I said we could apply the same and analyze the location of these plaques

29:31 how close they are located to the and to the axons into the bend

29:37 and would damage. Are they causing ? And we can look at that

29:43 a morphological perspective and we can look it from a physiological perspective. So

29:51 rassmann's group was well equipped to do for morphological perspective. and we demonstrate

29:58 from a physiological perspective where we showed this beta amyloid plaque build up in

30:07 mouse model and a similar transgenic mouse was causing failures in action potentials.

30:14 causing failures in producing the action So we morphological e when dr raz

30:24 , looked and did the calculations what saw is that there was a significant

30:32 . T. G. S. transgenic tita is one mutation, A

30:37 . P. And T. To two mutations. Okay. And so

30:42 you have two mutations CPP and Ta and you haven't had to load

30:47 beta amyloid plaques. We saw a reduction A significant reduction from about 20

30:57 m to about 12 micrometers in the initial segment. This is A.

31:05 . S. Stands for the actual segment. So this is the axon

31:09 segment that will be generating the action . And we saw that if these

31:17 are in the vicinity of the the first thing that happens is they

31:23 impacting the length of the axon initial and by making this accident initial segment

31:30 renders the cell not being able to as many action potentials. We can

31:36 them as reliably because this is the accident initial segment where the cells will

31:41 producing the action potential which is eventually neural transmission. So this is what

31:48 rassmann's group demonstrated that if we the actually the closer these flax, the

31:59 you are located, if you're the that are located in the first

32:03 the damage on the action initial segment be greater. If you're in the

32:09 ring there is still going to be but it's going to be less.

32:13 so this was a real way and can see these white squiggly things adjust

32:18 accident initial segments and showing the length these acts of initial segments and showing

32:23 the closer you come to these the shorter these actual initial segments

32:31 So this was quantified and that this significant. Um I was happy that

32:36 contributed with this methodological application of this had been bent in this idea and

32:44 location of the flax and acts and segments and how they could be shortened

32:49 in the lab at the same time my life were reporting failure of action

32:55 . And so I have a Alzheimer's disease. I didn't upload for

33:00 as additional data. I have a that shows that inhibitor inter neurons are

33:09 to fire and Alzheimer's disease and that's because that relates to the imbalance of

33:17 condition of the citation and that goes the argument that supports the film

33:24 uh incidents, path of physiology of disease and epilepsy excitatory inhibitory in

33:37 So finally, most of the drugs is still talking about your question to

33:43 napoleon is synthesized by themselves and we see with Colin and cocoa way

33:51 cold and a single transfers for chat made locally and uploaded into vesicles,

33:58 gets released possum optically it can bind the island. Tropical make a tiny

34:03 pill and receptors a medical tropic, current acetylcholine receptors once it's released in

34:11 not to collapse, it is clear the molecule abbreviated here, A C

34:16 E, which stands for esa taco race that is a tropical island

34:23 breaks down the single Colin Colin. pathetic acid Coleman gets re transported with

34:31 podium co transport and remember and transported the neurons that synthesize. Okay,

34:38 released percent applicant we they re synthesize the synoptic terminal and upload this.

34:45 don't tell me for this repeated release . So what happens in Alzheimer's disease

34:52 that this system of a pseudo colonial and in particular in the frontal areas

35:00 , he is most susceptible to damage Alzheimer's disease. So this is the

35:06 and cellular expression of that disease and we're seeing is that there is a

35:15 of a student Colombian neurons. Most the medications for Alzheimer's disease are common

35:23 or a seal of protagonist arrays They basically block or inhibit activity of

35:29 C A. G and by blocking activity of a ch even making a

35:34 coding a lot more bio available than synapses to buying through synaptic receptors a

35:41 of the issue, I always said this medication is that if these pre

35:47 terminals killen merger terminals if these cells actually dying because that's what's happening and

35:53 disease and there are no socks that making a set of phony and releasing

35:57 single called and releasing acetylcholine although diffuse throughout the brain structure but still specifically

36:05 the certain synapses which is not understand diffused system but it doesn't mean that

36:10 doesn't have its own complex, very but very specific logic as well.

36:17 these ending strategical and ergic neurons of for taxes. So there's another strategy

36:26 using Normandy as Alzheimer's medication 19 blocks M. D. A receptor is

36:34 antagonist and M. D. A but it only blocks active in

36:38 D. A receptor. So not of them the receptors but active in

36:42 receptors. So if there is basically drugs Colin kahl industries inhibitors, they

36:51 a single Coley number 19 targets NMDA and glutamate signal. This is

37:04 How do you control potassium? How you make blood brand barrier tighter?

37:13 think the answer is in the chat . Oh all about just getting it

37:22 there and running, Come on, matters exactly. So what I'm saying

37:30 that there is you know other aspects probably future medications. Uh some people

37:39 benefits from cannabinoids for migraines. Although hasn't been necessarily studied very well but

37:46 not surprising since there is evidence that helps with chronic pain and this is

37:52 form of chronic pain and we're not talking about peripheral in this case,

37:57 a C. N. S. . So, but there might be

38:02 very interesting other medications of precursors. is there a way to specifically target

38:11 city of columbus actors with other Ah and again, if we do

38:19 as a systemic targeting. So there's little cold antagonists are going to go

38:24 . But as I said, there's diffused system that we call a diffused

38:28 like system. By the means that like system probably has its own

38:34 That's a very complex and probably in quite specific mm hmm, targeting pfosten

38:43 all of this. You know. results could be to benefit or it

38:47 not because as I mentioned, there some of the division of labor and

38:52 projections of these nuclei, the koala nuclei and deal with different parts of

38:57 brain. Alright, so this actually our lecture and concludes the new material

39:13 I will cover in this
