主 题:The Drosophila adult neuromuscular junction a model for unravelling amyloid peptide influence synapse dynamics
摘 要:Amyloid peptide(Aβ)oligomers are considered one of the primary causal factors for the synaptic loss characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)(Karran and De Strooper,2016).However,Aβis generated in normal brains and accumulates at synaptic sites,which raises the question whether Aβplays a physiological role in synapses.
