The hippocampus and entorhinal cortex (EC) accumulate amyloid beta peptides (Aß) that promote neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease, but the early effects of Aß on excitatory synaptic transmission in the EC have not been well characterized. To assess the acute effects of Aß1-42 on glutamatergic synapses, acute brain slices from wildtype rats were expo ...
