By getting down to
synaptic levels in the brain — even if only in mice — the researchers seem to have taken a step toward explaining why omega - 3 trials in humans have shown some success in treating mood disorders.

the synaptic level in people is still very difficult to figure out.

synaptic gap, causing elevated bodily responses from the elevated hormone
levels, such as increased energy and confidence.
Enhanced amyloidogenic processing of APP by the ß - site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) and the γ - secretase complex and reduced clearance lead to increased intracellular
levels of soluble oligomeric Aß, resulting
in cellular dysfunction comprising e.g.,
synaptic failure, mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced oxidative stress, neurotransmitter and neurotrophin depletion, inflammation, and apoptosis which is reflected
in patients as clinical symptoms such as cognitive deficits [2, 3].
The study does not explain what does maintain working memories if low -
level activation doesn't, but changes
in synaptic weights — or the potential one neuron has to affect the behavior of another across a synapse — might be the answer.
''... we hypothesize that repeated stress - related allostatic overload may affect brain function at three basic
levels: (a) at the cellular
level, it may compromise proteostasis (e.g. tau protein), organelles homeostasis, and induce epigenetic changes
in neuronal DNA; (b) at the tissue
level it may affect intracellular communication (
synaptic contacts), number of cells (reduction of neuronal density), composition of the extracellular matrix (accumulation of amyloid plaques), and neuroinflammation; (c) at the systemic
levels it may alter the brain's regulation of behavior (cognitive decline).
''... persistently elevated glucocorticoid
levels during chronic stress may reduce
synaptic plasticity and the number of neurons
in the hippocampus.
It is likely that a combination of several factors (e.g. age - related changes at the
level of gene expression, infectious agents, toxic compounds, and head trauma) affects the neuronal milieu and initiates neuropathological processes leading to the formation of toxic tau and amyloid β species, reduction of
synaptic plasticity, and neuronal loss resulting
in development of sporadic AD.»
For example, KBs were recently reported to act as neuroprotective agents by raising ATP
levels and reducing the production of reactive oxygen species
in neurological tissues, 80 together with increased mitochondrial biogenesis, which may help to enhance the regulation of synaptic function.80 Moreover, the increased synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids stimulated by a KD may have a role in the regulation of neuronal membrane excitability: it has been demonstrated, for example, that polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate the excitability of neurons by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels.81 Another possibility is that by reducing glucose metabolism, ketogenic diets may activate anticonvulsant mechanisms, as has been reported in a rat model.82 In addition, caloric restriction per se has been suggested to exert neuroprotective effects, including improved mitochondrial function, decreased oxidative stress and apoptosis, and inhibition of proinflammatory mediators, such as the cytokines tumour necrosis factor - α and interleukins.83 Although promising data have been collected (see below), at the present time the real clinical benefits of ketogenic diets in most neurological diseases remain largely speculative and uncertain, with the significant exception of its use in the treatment of convulsion disease
