It is concluded that soluble Aβ oligomers extracted from Alzheimer's disease brains potently impair synapse structure and function and that dimers are the smallest synaptotoxic species.

It is found that brief exposure to a novel environment lowered the threshold for the induction of LTP, and an important role for dopamine-regulated synaptic plasticity in the storage of unpredicted information in the CA1 area is supported.

A new mouse model for DS that carries duplications spanning the entire Hsa21 syntenic regions on all three mouse chromosomes and may have the potential to serve as one of the reference models for further understanding the developmental cognitive disability associated with DS and may also be used for developing novel therapeutic interventions for this clinical manifestation of the disorder.
Distinct Roles for Ras-Guanine Nucleotide-Releasing Factor 1 (Ras-GRF1) and Ras-GRF2 in the Induction of Long-Term Potentiation and Long-Term Depression

Findings show that, despite their similar functional domain organization, Ras-GRF1 and Ras- GRF2 mediate opposing forms of synaptic plasticity by coupling different classes of NMDARs to distinct MAP kinase pathways.
