Exploring noradrenergic signaling and sleep patterns in prodromal stages of Alzheimer’s disease mouse models

Paola Milanese, Georgios Foustoukos, Lila Banterle, Alejandro Osorio-Forero, Laura, M. J. Fernandez, Anita Lüthi · FENS Forum 2024

The onset of Alzheimer disease (AD) and of abnormal sleep patterns are both signaled by initially minute but ultimately disastrous physiological malfunctions of the brain. Among these, the Locus Coeruleus (LC) belongs to the primary brain areas that show such malfunctions in the early stages of AD. The LC generates large noradrenaline (NA) signals that are key for the architecture of sleep in mice. In contrast, how LC malfunctions relate to sleep disturbances in AD remains unknown.We explore the real-time functionality of the noradrenergic system during AD’s prodromal phase in an established A

Memory matters: Cognitive decline in ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease

Robin Gens, Sylvie De Raedt, Engelborghs Sebastiaan, Ron Kooijman, Dimitri De Bundel · FENS Forum 2024

Ischemic stroke (IS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are debilitating neurological disorders marked by functional and cognitive deficits, sharing underlying pathological mechanisms. Recent research highlights the involvement of neurogenesis in both conditions, with alterations in neurogenesis linked to cognitive dysfunction. In our study, we aimed to investigate cognitive decline in a combined IS/AD model. To this end, IS was induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in 4-months-old male and female 3xTg-AD vs wild-type (WT) mice. Our results revealed comparable sensorimotor re
