Evidence for Oxytocin to Reverse Impairment of Synaptic Plasticity by Amyloid-β

Today’s research materials report on recently presented preliminary evidence, based on work in tissue slices from mouse brains, for oxytocin to dampen the harms done to the function of neurons by amyloid-β. Amyloid-β is one of the few proteins in the body capable of becoming altered in ways that encourage other molecules of amyloid-β to alter in the same way, aggregating into solid deposits in and around cells. This is disruptive to cell function when it occurs in the brain, and rising amyloid-β aggregation is widely thought to be the early, formative stage of Alzheimer’s disease.
