Visualizing Axonal Growth Cone Collapse and Early Amyloid β Effects in Cultured Mouse Neurons

Here a protocol to investigate the early effects of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain is presented. This shows that Aβ induces clathrin-mediated endocytosis and collapse of axonal growth cones. The protocol is useful in studying early effects of Aβ on axonal growth cones and may facilitate prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
