A Pathologic Cascade Leading to Synaptic Dysfunction in -Synuclein-Induced Neurodegeneration
16 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Several neurodegenerative diseases are typified by intraneuronal alpha-synuclein deposits, synaptic dysfunction, and dementia. While even modest alpha-synuclein elevations can be pathologic, the precise cascade of events induced by excessive alpha-synuclein and eventually culminating in synaptotoxicity is unclear. To elucidate this, we developed a quantitative model system to evaluate evolving...
