Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Synaptic dysfunction and intracellular transport defects are early events in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Extracellular amyloid β (Aβ) oligomers cause spine alterations and impede the transport of proteins and organelles such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and mitochondria that are required for synaptic function. Meanwhile, intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ precedes its extracellular...
