Triple‐transgenic Alzheimer's disease mice exhibit region‐specific abnormalities in brain myelination patterns prior to appearance of amyloid and tau pathology

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively debilitating brain disorder pathologically defined by extracellular amyloid plaques, intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, and synaptic disintegrity. AD has not been widely considered a disease of white matter, but more recent evidence suggests the existence of abnormalities in myelination patterns and myelin attrition in AD-afflicted human brains. Herein, we...
