Synapses constitute highly organized informational hubs in the nervous system where a presynaptic and a postsynaptic neuron communicate (Sudhof; 2018). The precise functioning of the synapses is regulated by efficient neurotransmission orchestrated by proteins localized in the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons (Margeta & Shen; 2010). Dysregulation of these proteins leads to synaptic dysfunction, manifesting itself as neuronal hyperexcitability or hypoexcitability (Starr & Sattler; 2018, Jiang et al., 2019). Synaptic dysfunction is an early hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), two neurodegenerative disorders (Starr & Sattler; 2018, Ling; 2018, Yuyu Song; 2020), which predominantly affect the neuromuscular junction and cortical synapses, respectively. However, recent studies suggest that ALS may be associated with cognitive changes in some patients and is clinically considered as ALS-FTD (Saxon et al., 2017, Saxon et al., 2020). Electrophysiologically, motor neurons of both sporadic and familial ALS patients, exhibit hyperexcitability early in the disease course, followed by hypoexcitability later in life (Vucic et al., 2008, Bae et al., 2013, Menon et al., 2015). Whereas, cortical hyperexcitability is observed in FTD (Benussi et al., 2019). To better understand synaptic dysfunction in the context of these diseases, it is essential to consider the impact of protein aggregates of RNA binding proteins such as TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS). Cytoplasmic protein aggregates of RNA binding proteins TDP-43 and FUS have been observed in the brain and spinal cord of FTD and ALS patients.(Blokhuis et al., 2013, Balch et al., 2008; Ling et al., 2013, Taylor et al., 2016). Interestingly, the synaptic proteome is extremely vulnerable in ALS and FTD (Umoh et al., 2018), perhaps due to the interplay of pathological protein aggregates on the proteasome. In the context of ALS, the cell biology of motor neurons poses challenges to* karthik. krishnamurthy@ jefferson. edu, krishnabio@ gmail. com. Author Contributions
