The PDAPP mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: Locus coeruleus neuronal shrinkage
14 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by neuronal degeneration in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and subcortical neuronal degeneration in such nuclei as the locus coeruleus (LC). Transgenic mice overexpressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein V717F, PDAPP mice, develop several Alzheimer's disease-like lesions. The present study sought to determine whether there is also loss of LC noradrenergic neurons...
