Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Sevoflurane induces neuronal dysfunction and cognitive impairment. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely to be determined. Tau, cyclophilin D, and dendritic spine contribute to cognitive function. But whether changes in dendritic spines are involved in the effects of sevoflurane and the potential association with tau and cyclophilin D is not clear.
METHODS:
We harvested hippocampal neurons from wild-type mice, tau knockout mice, … Show more
