Early β adrenoceptor dependent time window for fear memory persistence in APPswe/PS1dE9 mice

Abstract In this study we demonstrate that 2 month old APPswe/PS1dE9 mice, a transgenic model of Alzheimer’s disease, exhibited intact short-term memory in Pavlovian hippocampal—dependent contextual fear learning task. However, their long-term memory was impaired. Intra-CA1 infusion of isoproterenol...
