“…Synaptotoxic Aß can selectively and potently inhibit long‐term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory synaptic transmission (Cullen et al, ; Spires‐Jones and Hyman, ). Reducing glutamate receptor activation with receptor antagonists (Hu et al, ; Klyubin et al, ; Rammes et al, ; Ronicke et al, ; Hu et al, ), or by enhancing glutamate clearance (Li et al, ; Takahashi et al, ; Varga et al, ; Zumkehr et al, ) has been reported to block the disruption of synaptic plasticity by Aß.…”
