Name:ID #: Cell/Molecular Neurobiology BIOL 4360 Final Assignment/Exam May 14, 2020 100 points total For this Final Assignment, please choose two topics from the list of neuronal cellular mechanisms, proteins or organelles below, and for each of these 2 topics… 1. Find a good review article from a scholarly journal 2. Summarize/explain, in your own words, neuroscience’s current understanding of the role this cellular mechanism/protein may play in normal neuronal functioning and the indicated disease (1/2 to 1 page). How can these findings apply to treatment development and/or diet/lifestyle recommendations to improve health and function? 3. Include a formal bibliographic citation of the article, using the format indicated below the list of topics Each summary (with citation) is worth a total of 50 points. List of Topics: A. Serotonin neurotransmission in the CNS: Role in normal mood regulation and the development of major depression B. Electrical synapses (connexins) and the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease C. Neuromuscular junction: Disorders of the dihydropyridine and/or ryanodine receptor proteins in muscular dystrophy D. Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs) and their role in the development and pathology of Alzheimer’s disease E. Synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP) in enriched vs. stimulus-impoverished environments: role in the development of childhood cognitive impairment F. Caloric restriction: its role in neuronal death (intracellular signaling) mechanisms and neuroprotection/prevention of early neurodegeneration Citation format: The entry is organized as follows: 1. author's last name, followed by a comma, then the initials of the first and middle names of the author. 2. year of publication in parentheses. 3. title of the journal article, followed by a period. 4. name of the journal in italics. 5. volume of the journal in bold, followed by a comma. 6. start page hyphen end page of the journal article. ( Final ) ( 1 ) Citation example: Brenner, D. E., Kukull, W. A., van Belle, G., Bowen, J. D., McCormick, W. C., Teri, L., Larson, E. B.
