Increased neuronal activity of cortical pyramidal cells can paradoxically reduce cerebral blood flow via vasoconstriction mediated by glutamate and lipid messengers.
β-CTF of APP, not Aβ, induces synaptic loss in a cell-autonomous manner, revealing APP misregulation may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease via an Aβ-independent mechanism.
