found them to be reduced in PS1(n-/-) mice while increased in PS1[A246E] mice. These biochemical findings correlate with decreased and increased levels of nuclear c-Fos in PS1(n-/-) mice and PS1[A246E] mice, respectively. Finally, while PS1[A246E] and PS1(n-/-) mice both performed normally in object recognition and spatial navigation tasks, the PS1[A246E] mice displayed improved contextual fear conditioning, in contrast to a subtle impairment in PS1(n-/-) mice in this task. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate both preand postsynaptic roles for wild-type PS1 in synaptic plasticity, while mutant PS1[A246E] acts post-synaptically and opposite to PS1-deficiency.
