Synaptic Deficits Are Rescued in the p25/Cdk5 Model of Neurodegeneration by the Reduction of beta-Secretase (BACE1)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and is characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline, as well as amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation, and progressive neurodegeneration. Cdk5 is a proline-directed serine/threonine kinase whose activation by the p25 protein has been im...
