Central synaptopathy is the most conserved feature of motor circuit pathology across spinal muscular atrophy mouse models

Summary: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by reduced survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Recently, SMN dysfunction has been linked to individual aspects of motor circuit pathology in a severe SMA mouse model. To determine whether these disease mechanisms are conse...
