Sequestration of mitochondrial aspartate by NAA is incompatible with pathological energetic crisis, accelerates associated cognitive decline and presents a rationale for the active reduction of NAA in a broad clinical spectrum of neurodegenerative disease. Image content Overexpression of NAA synthase (Nat8L) in hippocampal Neurons of 5xFAD mice compounds phenotypic energy deficit and accelerates cognitive decline.
