Patterns of cognitive decline and somatosensory processing in a mouse model of amyloid accumulation

Pain and cognitive decline increase with age. In particular, there is a troubling relationship between dementia and pain, with some studies showing higher prevalence and inadequate treatment of pain in this population. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common causes of dementia in older ad...
