Reduced Spine Density in Specific Regions of CA1 Pyramidal Neurons in Two Transgenic Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease
9 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
One major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the massive loss of synapses that occurs at an early clinical stage of the disease. In this study, we characterize alterations in spine density and the expression of synapse-associated immediate early gene Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) in the hippocampal CA1 regions of two different amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mouse lines...
