A Neuroligin-1 mutation associated with Alzheimer’s disease produces memory and age-dependent impairments in hippocampal plasticity
15 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by memory impairments and age-dependent synapse loss. Experimental and clinical studies have shown decreased expression of the glutamatergic protein Neuroligin-1 (Nlgn1) in AD. However, the consequences of a sustained reduction of Nlgn1 are unknown. Here, we generated a knockin mouse that reproduces the NLGN1 Thr271fs mutation, identified in heterozygosis in a familial...
