Abstract excerpt
Postmortem AD brains exhibit dendritic spine loss in the hippocampus. To determine whether this pathology may be associated with amyloid burden, the present study used the Golgi stain technique to assess age- and genotype-dependent changes in dendritic spine density in CA1 hippocampus of two transgenic mouse lines that produce high levels of Abeta. Tg2576 and PDAPP mice, as well as a group of Tg2576 mice crossed...
