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...

The severe SMNΔ7 model exhibits vast motor circuit defects, including degeneration of motor neurons, spinal excitatory synapses, and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). In contrast, the Taiwanese model shows very mild motor neuron pathology, but early central synaptic loss. In the intermediate Smn2B/- model, strong pathology of central excitatory synapses and NMJs precedes the late onset of p53-dependent motor neuron death.
