Activity 1: Choosing keywords
This week's content is again to help you with the Critical Review: Dysfunctional synaptic processes underlie cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s Disease. Review the evidence from the literature regarding these processes. Your answer should make reference to key areas of pathology. These areas may include alterations in neurotransmitter levels, changes in receptor functionality, and/or aggregation of neuronal pathology.

Activity 2: Keyword searching
Each group member should complete a literature search, via the library search bar, using at least one keyword from the list you compiled in activity 1. Remember, you should be trying to find empirical research articles, not reviews.
