[In addition, reduction of putative postsynaptic sites (as inferred from the decreased numbers of dendritic branches in both pyramidal and nonpyramidal neurons, and of dendritic spines in pyramidal cells) in remaining neurons of the upper layers, as well as reduction of presynaptic terminals (as suggested by the decreased expression of synaptic vesicle-associated proteins, synaptophysin, synaptotagmin, rab 3a and synapsin 1, and presynaptic plasma membrane proteins SNAP-25 and syntaxin 1) in the upper layers of the frontal cortex, but not of the posterior parietal cortex, demonstrate the combined devastating effects of FTD on cortico-cortical connections.].
