Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes a characteristic spatiotemporal pattern of neurodegeneration. The factors that account for this pattern of degeneration, including associated neuronal dysfunction and dysmorphia, are unclear. Previously, we generated a model of AD using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans with the AD risk variant of apolipoprotein E (APOE4). We showed that the soma of HSN class neurons degenerate...
