Aβ Oligomer-Mediated Long-Term Potentiation Impairment Involves Protein Phosphatase 1-Dependent Mechanisms
18 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Amyloid beta (Abeta) oligomers are derived from proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and can impair memory and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) in vivo and in vitro. They are recognized as the primary neurotoxic agents in Alzheimer's disease. The mechanisms underlying such toxicity on synaptic functions are complex and not fully understood. Here, we provide the first evidence that these...
