Aß Facilitates LTD at Schaffer Collateral Synapses Preferentially in the Left Hippocampus

Summary: Promotion of long-term depression (LTD) mechanisms by synaptotoxic soluble oligomers of amyloid-β (Aß) has been proposed to underlie synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previously, LTD was induced by relatively non-specific electrical stimulation. Exploiting optogenetics, we s...
