Progressive effect of beta amyloid peptides accumulation on CA1 pyramidal neurons: a model study suggesting possible treatments

Several independent studies show that accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides , one of the characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), can affect normal neuronal activity in different ways. However, in spite of intense experimental work to explain the possible underlying mechanisms of acti...
