Acitretin reverses early functional network degradation in a mouse model of familial Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Aberrant activity of local functional networks underlies memory and cognition deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Hyperactivity was observed in microcircuits of mice AD-models showing plaques, and also recently in early stage AD mutants prior to amyloid deposition. However, early function...
