Personalized brain models identify neurotransmitter receptor changes in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease involves many neurobiological alterations from molecular to macroscopic spatial scales, but we currently lack integrative, mechanistic brain models characterizing how factors across different biological scales interact to cause clinical deterioration in a way that is subject-specific or personalized. As important signalling molecules and mediators of many neurobiological interactions, neurotransmitter receptors are promising candidates for identifying molecular mechanisms and drug targets in Alzheimer's disease.
