In early Alzheimer disease (AD) models synaptic failures and upstreaming aberrant patterns of network synchronous activity result in hippocampal-dependent memory deficits. In such initial stage, soluble forms of Amyloid- β (A β ) peptides have been shown to play a causal role. Among different A β species, A β  25-35 has been identified as the biologically active fragment, as induces major neuropathological signs related to early AD stages. Consequently, it has been extensively used to acutely explore the pathophysiological events related with neuronal dysfunction induced by soluble A β forms. However, the synaptic mechanisms underlying its toxic effects on hippocampal-dependent memory remain unresolved. Here, in an in vivo model of amyloidosis generated by intracerebroventricular injections of A β  25-35 we studied the synaptic dysfunction mechanisms underlying hippocampal cognitive deficits. At the synaptic level, long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic excitation and inhibition was induced in CA1 region by high frequency simulation (HFS) applied to Schaffer collaterals. A β  25-35 was found to alter metaplastic mechanisms of plasticity, facilitating long-term depression (LTD) of both types of LTP. In addition, aberrant synchronization of hippocampal network activity was found while at the behavioral level, deficits in hippocampal-dependent habituation and recognition memories emerged. Together, our results provide a substrate for synaptic disruption mechanism underlying hippocampal cognitive deficits present in A β  25-35 amyloidosis model.
