Functional consequences of the lack of amyloid precursor protein in the mouse dentate gyrus in vivo

TL;DR: It is suggested that the deletion of APP may affect presynaptic plasticity of synaptic transmission at the perforant path–granule cell synapse but leaves synaptic efficacy intact and LTP preserved, possibly due to functional redundancy within the APP gene family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of all three APP family members during development impairs synaptic function and plasticity, disrupts learning, and causes an autism-like phenotype.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify essential functions of the APP family during development, for normal hippocampal function and circuits important for learning and social behavior, including repetitive rearing and climbing, impaired social communication and deficits in social interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

APP accumulates with presynaptic proteins around amyloid plaques: A role for presynaptic mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease?

TL;DR: Investigation of the distribution of APP in human AD brain samples and in mouse models of AD finds that alteration of APP distribution and its accumulation together with presynaptic proteins around dense-core amyloid plaques is a key histopathological feature in AD, lending support to the notion that Presynaptic failure is a strong physiopathological component of AD.
