Picomolar Amyloid-β Positively Modulates Synaptic Plasticity and Memory in Hippocampus
Open accessAbstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides are produced in high amounts during Alzheimer's disease, causing synaptic and memory dysfunction. However, they are also released in lower amounts in normal brains throughout life during synaptic activity. Here we show that low picomolar concentrations of a preparation containing both Aβ 42 monomers and oligomers cause a marked increase of hippocampal long-term potentiation, whereas high nanomolar concentrations lead to the well established reduction of potentiation. Picomolar levels of Aβ 42 also produce a pronounced enhancement of both reference and contextual fear memory. The mechanism of action of picomolar Aβ 42 on both synaptic plasticity and memory involves α7-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These findings strongly support a model for Aβ effects in which low concentrations play a novel positive, modulatory role on neurotransmission and memory, whereas high concentrations play the well known detrimental effect culminating in dementia.

Aβ plays a role in synaptic transmission and is involved in learning and memory formation.
“studies that shed light on the physiological role of Aβ in non-diseased brains show that Aβ plays a role in synaptic transmission and is involved in learning and memory formation [18–22].”

Other studies injected picomolar concentrations of Aβ peptides into mice, which also significantly enhanced synaptic plasticity and memory formation.

At sub-nanomolar doses, Aβ markedly enhances LTP, an effect that occurs over a narrow range of concentrations and is associated with presynaptic activation of alpha7 nicotinic receptors.
“Remarkably, at sub-nanomolar doses, the effect on LTP is reversed, and Aβ markedly enhances LTP. Discovered by Arancio and colleagues in a detailed analysis (Puzzo et al., 2008), enhancement occurs over a narrow range of concentrations and is associated with presynaptic activation of alpha7 nicotinic receptors.”

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.
