Association of Cholinergic Basal Forebrain Volume and Functional Connectivity with Markers of Inflammatory Response in the Alzheimer's Disease Spectrum

Stefan J. Teipel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between cholinergic basal forebrain volume and functional connectivity with neuroinflammation measures in individuals within the AD spectrum. The findings suggest that the cholinergic basal forebrain may be involved in the neuroinflammation response to A beta(42) and phospho-tau pathology.

Functional Connectivity of the Brain Across Rodents and Humans

Nan Xu et al.

Summary: This review examines the similarities and differences between rodents and humans in terms of functional connectivity, focusing on the use of rs-fMRI as a translational tool for cross-species analysis. It compares anatomical features, acquisition parameters, preprocessing techniques, and various aspects of the BOLD fluctuations. The review also discusses the applications of rs-fMRI in neurological and psychiatric disorders and presents open questions for future research.

Astrocyte calcium dysfunction causes early network hyperactivity in Alzheimer's disease

Disha Shah et al.

Summary: The dysfunctions of network activity and functional connectivity are early events in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the underlying mechanisms involve decreased astrocyte calcium signaling. This study demonstrates the role of astrocytes in mediating the initial features of AD and driving clinically relevant phenotypes.

Neurochemical and cognitive changes precede structural abnormalities in the TgF344-AD rat model

Caitlin F. Fowler et al.

Summary: Fowler et al. used brain imaging and cognitive testing in an Alzheimer's disease rat model to define the chronological order in which changes to brain structure, tissue chemistry, and memory appear. They found that memory impairments occurred prior to altered brain chemistry, which in turn occurred before changes in brain volume. These findings have implications for the development of biomarkers and early interventions for Alzheimer's disease.

Prodromal dysfunction of α5GABA-A receptor modulated hippocampal ripples occurs prior to neurodegeneration in the TgF344-AD rat model of Alzheimer's disease

Marcia H. Ratner et al.

Summary: This study investigates the potential dysfunction of alpha 5GABA-A receptors in the hippocampal trisynaptic circuit of AD-like transgenic rats, finding evidence of prodromal dysfunction before the onset of AD pathology and memory deficits. The results suggest that modulation of alpha 5GABA-A receptors may play a role in memory consolidation, but this modulatory mechanism is lost early in the development of AD.

Dynamic Subcortical Modulators of Human Default Mode Network Function

Ben J. Harrison et al.

Summary: The study utilized ultra-high field functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the involvement of the brain's default mode network (DMN) in switching between internally and externally focused cognition. Results showed that the basal forebrain suppressed DMN activity during rest and external task conditions, while the mediodorsal thalamus activated DMN cortical activity during internally focused cognition.

Astrocytes phagocytose adult hippocampal synapses for circuit homeostasis

Joon-Hyuk Lee et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that astrocytes in the adult hippocampus carry out phagocytosis through MEGF10 to maintain proper synaptic connectivity and plasticity. The findings reveal the crucial role of astrocytes in the activity-dependent elimination of excitatory synapses, highlighting the importance of this astrocytic function in supporting cognitive function.

Contribution of animal models toward understanding resting state functional connectivity

Patricia Pais-Roldan et al.

Summary: Functional connectivity is a widely studied measure in human neuroimaging research, providing insights into the brain's intrinsic functional organization and potential alterations related to brain dysfunction. However, the mechanisms underlying functional connectivity remain incompletely characterized, hindering interpretation of rs-fMRI studies. Research on laboratory animals plays a crucial role in understanding the neurophysiological processes contributing to functional connectivity.

Early Spatial Memory Impairment in a Double Transgenic Model of Alzheimer's Disease TgF-344 AD

Stephanie L. Proskauer Pena et al.

Summary: The study revealed that spatial navigation impairment in the TgF-344 AD Alzheimer's disease model starts earlier than expected, beginning at 4 months of age and fully developing at 6 months. In addition, vision impairment was more pronounced in females at 12 months of age.

Propagating patterns of intrinsic activity along macroscale gradients coordinate functional connections across the whole brain

Behnaz Yousefi et al.

Summary: Research suggests that the human brain exhibits macroscale spatial organization in functional networks and gradients through coordinated activity with distinct spatial and temporal characteristics. Understanding these patterns might provide insight into aspects of the brain's intrinsic activity and play a significant role in coordinating functional connections across the whole brain.

Neuronal excitation/inhibition imbalance: core element of a translational perspective on Alzheimer pathophysiology

Fernando Maestu et al.

Summary: Our incomplete understanding of the link between Alzheimer's Disease pathology and symptomatology hinders therapeutic success. Disturbance of neuronal activity, particularly an imbalance in underlying excitation/inhibition (E/I), plays a central role in connecting structural brain pathology and cognitive dysfunction in AD. While there are emerging options to influence this imbalance, the complexity of human brain dynamics complicates identification of an optimal approach.

Prodromal neuroinflammatory, cholinergic and metabolite dysfunction detected by PET and MRS in the TgF344-AD transgenic rat model of AD: a collaborative multi-modal study

Aisling M. Chaney et al.

Summary: The TgF344-AD rat model shows improved AD pathology modeling, including neuronal loss and Tau accumulation, with alterations in neuroinflammation and cholinergic receptors observed in vivo. This model can be useful for assessing early neurotransmission dysfunction and neuroinflammation in AD longitudinally, showing a potential for PET detection of Tau pathology.
