Modeling the prodromal phase of Alzheimer’s disease: Selective amyloid-driven failure of cholinergic medial septal neurons perturbs REM sleep, cognition, emotion, and broadcasts pathology in aging mice
2025-07-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> In humans, decreases in rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) strongly predict Alzheimer’s disease (AD), alongside early degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. We examined how β-amyloid pathology gradually erodes mouse cholinergic neurons. The familial App NL-G-F allele was selectively expressed in medial septal (MS) cholinergic neurons of both sexes and compared with mice with global Ap...
