摘要: In the quest for understanding pathophysiological processes underlying degeneration of nervous systems, synapses are emerging as sites great interest synaptic dysfunction is thought to play a role in initiation and progression neuronal loss. particular, synapse an interesting target effects epigenetic mechanisms neurodegeneration. Here, we review recent advances on driving compromise major neurodegenerative disorders. Major developments sequencing technologies enabled mapping transcriptomic patterns human postmortem brain tissues various diseases, also cell animal models. These studies helped identify changes classical neurodegeneration pathways discover novel targets related degeneration. Identifying indicative defects prior may provide basis future breakthroughs field
