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 ...

The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a vital component of the medial temporal lobe, and its contributions to cognitive processes and memory formation are supported through its extensive interconnections with the hippocampal formation. During the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), many of the earliest degenerative changes are seen within the EC. Neurod ...

INTRODUCTION: Abnormal brain amyloid beta (Aβ) is typically assessed in vivo using global concentrations from cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography (PET). However, it is unknown whether the assessment of the topographical distribution of Aβ pathology can provide additiona ...
