Breakdown in the synaptic vesicle cycle defines early and reversible cortical pathogenesis in ALS

Synaptic failure is considered an early driver of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), yet identifying the molecular events initiating synaptic decline remains challenging in end-stage human tissue. Here, we exploit the late involvement of the primary visual cortex (Brodmann Area 17 (BA17)) to investigate early disease...
