Local protein synthesis (LPS) in axons is now recognized as a physiological process, participating both in the maintenance of axonal function and diverse plastic phenomena. In the last decades of the 20th century, the existence and function of axonal LPS were topics of significant debate. Very early, axonal LPS was thought not to occur at all and was later accepted to play roles only during development or in response to specific conditions.

Background: Memory consolidation is an essential process for our everyday lives that is severely disrupted in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Memories are initially encoded in the hippocampus before being consolidated in the neocortex by synaptic plasticity processes that depend on protein synthesis. However, how molecular pathways affect synaptic signalling during memory consolidation in health and disease is unclear.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifests with early spatial memory impairment and is linked to the degeneration of hippocampal circuits. Hippocampal sharp wave ripples (SWRs) are high-frequency population-burst events that coordinate the reactivation of neural assemblies (groups of neurons that become correlated in their firing patterns during learning) in post-learning sleep, which is the neural basis of memory consolidation. SWRs are reduced in the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD-like pathology.

Background: Understanding the neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory is one of the major goals in neurophysiology and neuropsychology. Disorders related to memory consolidation are often the consequences of dynamic plasticity changes, which may lead to a reduction in spine number and density, impairing neural networks. Sleep is one of the major physiological prerequisites for memory consolidation, especially during NREM sleepwhen glymphatic system clearance takes place, too.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive cognitive decline over age 65. Individuals suffering from this disease suffer memory loss, and histological examination of the brains. Okadaic acid (OA), is a potent and selective inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A.
