Open AccessQuinolinic acid injection in mouse medial prefrontal cortex affects reversal learning abilities, cortical connectivity and hippocampal synaptic plasticity
Intracerebral injection of the excitotoxic, endogenous tryptophan metabolite, quinolinic acid (QA), constitutes a chemical model of neurodegenerative brain disease. Complementary techniques were combined to ex...

Open AccessSpatial reversal learning defect coincides with hypersynchronous telencephalic BOLD functional connectivity in APPNL-F/NL-F knock-in mice
Amyloid pathology occurs early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and has therefore been the focus of numerous studies. Transgenic mouse models have been instrumental to study amyloidosis, but observations might hav...

Open AccessThe two faces of synaptic failure in AppNL-G-F knock-in mice
Intensive basic and preclinical research into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has yielded important new findings, but they could not yet been translated into effective therapies. One of the reasons is the lack of ani...

Restoring metabolism of myeloid cells reverses cognitive decline in ageing
Ageing is characterized by the development of persistent pro-inflammatory responses that contribute to atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, cancer and frailty1–3. The ageing brain is also vulnerable to inflammati...

Open AccessMyeloid deficiency of the intrinsic clock protein BMAL1 accelerates cognitive aging by disrupting microglial synaptic pruning
Aging is associated with loss of circadian immune responses and circadian gene transcription in peripheral macrophages. Microglia, the resident macrophages of the brain, also show diurnal rhythmicity in regula...
