Abstract:Neuronal activity can modify Alzheimer's disease pathology. Although overexcitation of neurons can facilitate disease progression, the induction of cortical gamma oscillations can reduce amyloid load and improve cognitive functions in mouse models. These beneficial effects of gamma oscillations can be caused by either optogenetic activation of cortical parvalbumin-positive (PV+) neurons or 40 Hz repetitive sensory stimuli. However, given the fact that cortical gamma oscillations can be induced by multiple mech… Show more
