Investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying alpha synuclein function at the presynapse

帕金森氏症（PD）是一种常见的脑部疾病，影响着全球700万人。它是由脑细胞死亡引起的。？突触核蛋白是大脑中一种可能导致帕金森病细胞死亡的蛋白质，但这种蛋白质的正常作用尚不清楚。本研究将探讨？-synuclein维持正常健康的大脑活动此外，这项工作将帮助我们了解PD等疾病如何影响正常的大脑过程。

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common brain disease affecting 7 million people worldwide. It is caused by the death of brain cells. ?-synuclein is a protein in that brain that is likely to contribute to the cell death in PD, but the normal role of the protein remains unknown. This study will investigate the function of ?-synuclein in maintaining normal healthy brain activity. In addition, this work will help us understand how normal brain processes are affected in diseases such as PD.
