  • Publication number: 20100099741
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for identification of alternative safe molecular targets and novel regulators in complex molecular networks using a novel fault diagnosis engineering approach. For example, in this invention we claim new molecular targets that could be effectively targeted for changing the activity of CREB, and therefore for treatment of learning and memory related disorders. Learning and memory dysfunction is a major clinical manifestation of a number of human disorders, such as Alzheimer Disease (AD), schizophrenia, dementias, autism, etc. More specifically, we claim that composition and compounds that can target the activity of L AND/OR P/Q-, N-type calcium channels, G?i, G??, PP2A and CaMKII and IV are effective therapeutics for the treatment of disorders manifested by learning and memory dysfunction.
