Summary: The neurobiological mechanisms behind memory formation remain unknown. Synapses are essential neuronal sub-compartments for the transmission of information within neuronal networks. Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity mechanisms, are two types of processes that play a role on synaptic modifications during the formation of memories. The interaction between these types of plasticity controls the balance between neuronal flexibility and stability to keep neuronal activity within a physiological window. Thus, it is important to better understand these mechanisms and identify the basic units of this system as they may be involved in the onset of neurological disorders. Here, I shed light on the impact of these mechanisms in the early phase of Alzheimer’s disease.

No entanto, sabe-se que as sinapses, sub-compartimentos neuronais essenciais para a transmissão de informação nas redes neuronais, são elementos imprescindíveis para este processo. Diferentes formas de plasticidade (hebbiano e homeostáticos) estão na base de modificações sinápticas que acontecem durante a formação de memórias. A interação destes mecanismos controlam o equilíbrio entre a flexibilidade e a estabilidade neuronal mantendo assim a sua actividade dentro de uma janela fisiológica. É, portanto, necessário conhecer melhor estes mecanismos de plasticidade e assim identificar que tipo de alterações nas unidades básicas deste sistema podem estar na origem de distúrbios do funcionamento do cérebro. Neste artigo, reflito sobre a potencial implicação destas alterações nas fases iniciais da doença de Alzheimer.NMd, Núcleo Multidisciplinar2021-07-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.23882/NE2146https://doi.org/10.23882/NE2146[RMd] RevistaMultidisciplinar; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2021): Neuroscience and Education; 5-11[RMd] RevistaMultidisciplinar; Vol. 3 Núm. 2 (2021): Neurociências e Educação; 5-11[RMd] Revue Multidisciplinaire; Vol. 3 No 2 (2021): Neurociências e Educação; 5-11[RMd] RevistaMultidisciplinar; Vol. 3 N.º 2 (2021): Neurociências e Educação; 5-112184-549210.23882/v3n2reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistamultidisciplinar.com/index.php/oj/article/view/66https://revistamultidisciplinar.com/index.php/oj/article/view/66/65Direitos de Autor (c) 2021 Sara Cesariny Calafateinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCalafate, Sara Cesariny2025-04-12T08:13:08Zoai:ojs2.revistamultidisciplinar.com:article/66Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T06:24:59.205958Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
