Synaptic slaughter in Alzheimer's disease

Coleman, P·2003·Neurobiology of Aging

Abstract

Synaptic loss is currently established as the best neurobiological correlate of the cognitive deficits of Alzheimer's disease (AD) [Ann. Neurol. 27 (1990) 457; Ann. Neurol. 30 (1991) 572]. We provide evidence that still living neurons lose synapses in AD, in addition to the synapse loss due to death of neurons. We also provide evidence indicating that in addition to loss of synapses, synaptic function is also affected in AD by decrements in transcript species related to synaptic vesicle trafficking.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
