Abstract excerpt
The allele E4 of apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), which is the most prevalent genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), inhibits synaptogenesis and neurogenesis and stimulates apoptosis in brains of apoE4 transgenic mice that have been exposed to an enriched environment. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that the brain activity-dependent impairments in neuronal plasticity, induced by apoE4,...
