Background: Dysregulated GABA/somatostatin (SST) signaling has been implicated in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. The inhibition of excitatory neurons by SST+ interneurons, particularly through α5-containing GABAA receptors (α5-GABAAR), plays a crucial role in mitigating cognitive functions. Previous research demonstrated that an α5-positive allosteric modulator (α5-PAM) mitigates working memory deficits and reverses neuronal atrophy in aged mice.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatment options. As it progresses, synapse degeneration is the most important feature contributing to cognitive dysfunction. Mitochondria supply synapses with ATP for neurotransmitter release and vesicle recycling and buffer calcium concentrations.

Sex hormones regulate gut function and mucosal immunity; however, their specific effects on the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in the rectum of mammals remain unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the influence of sex on MALT in the rectum of mammals by focusing on the rectal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (RMALTs) of C57BL/6NCrSIc mice. Histological analysis revealed that RMALTs were predominantly located in the lamina propria and submucosa of the rectal mucosa, with a significant sex-related difference in the distance from the anorectal junction to the first appearance of the RMALT.

Background: Socioeconomic disparities (SED) influence brain health and dementia. Latin America (LA) is characterized by high SED and a disproportionate prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD) compared to high-income populations like the United States (US). However, the impact of SED on brain reserve across neurocognitive pathways related to aging and dementia in LA remains unknown.

Background: Amyloid and tau pathologies are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous research indicated notable connections between financial capacity and AD biomarkers. Here, we aimed to understand whether financial capacity is affected by the cerebral accumulation of tau and amyloid.
