Abstract TDP-43 nuclear depletion is a defining pathological feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia that induces widespread cryptic splicing defects in hundreds of transcripts1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Despite this, whether TDP-43 loss affects synaptic function has remained unclear. Here we show that TDP-43 loss induces a predegenerative state in which neurons remain structurally intact but suffer a substantial breakdown in synaptic communication.
