EphA4 activation of c-Abl mediates synaptic loss and LTP blockade caused by amyloid-β oligomers.
The early stages of Alzheimer's disease are characterised by impaired synaptic plasticity and synapse loss. Here, we show that amyloid-β oligomers (AβOs) activate the c-Abl kinase in dendritic spines of cultured hippocampal neurons and that c-Abl kinase activity is required for AβOs-induced syn...
