Spine loss represents a common hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms, especially the relationship between spine elimination and neuritic destruction. We imaged cortical dendrites throughout a neurodegenerative disease using scrapie in mice as a model. Two-photon in vivo imaging over 2 months revealed a linear decrease of spine density. Interestingly, only persistent spines (lifetime >= 8 d) disappeared, whereas the density of transient spines (lifetime
