摘要
The role for cellular prion protein PrPc in beta-amyloid (A beta) oligomer-induced synaptic impairment is a topic of great interest and some controversy. In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine Aguzzi and co-workers explore the contribution of PrPc to deficient long term potentiation (LIP) and soluble All levels in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model and show that the role of prions in A beta related toxicity is far from 'black and white' suggesting complex interpretations of the data available thus far.
