项目摘要
Project Summary
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by memory impairments and underlying neuropathology, including
plaques, amyloid-β peptides, tau, in conjunction with neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury/loss, particularly in
the medial temporal lobe. Recent studies, however, suggest neurophysiological alterations in the prefrontal
cortex (PFC) evident in AD patients prior to gross neuropathology which may contribute to deficits in cognitive
processing early in AD. Given that the PFC contributes to top-down control of memory processing necessary
for optimal decision-making, dysfunction within the PFC may contribute to suboptimal decision-making which
often precedes gross memory loss in AD patients. Optimal decision-making requires functioning working memory
processes (i.e., using information “online” to guide choices) and flexible behavior (the ability to shift behavior in
response to changing consequences). Critically, early-stage AD may target brain circuits that underlie these
prefrontal dependent processes leading to early impairment in optimal cognitive processing. As such,
understanding neural circuits that are affected in AD underlie complex cognitive deficits may lead to earlier and
effective screening for AD risk and serve as an important therapeutic target for improving the quality of life AD
patients. The rat prelimbic cortex (PrL) is heavily implicated in working memory and flexible behavior necessary
for online decision-making. AD rats that were developed to show age-dependent neuropathological signatures
(plaques, tau) consistent with AD are impaired in PrL-dependent cognitive tasks prior to accumulation of
neuropathology. Critically, these deficits in PrL-dependent tasks precede behavioral deficits in other memory
tasks that do not depend on PrL function. As such, targeting the PrL function in vivo may restore these cognitive
processes in the AD rat model. Here, we aim to use noninvasive brain stimulation that modulates neural
oscillations to restore PrL-hippocampal neural activity (Aim 1) and PrL-orbitofrontal cortex neural activity (Aim 2)
in working memory (delay nonmatch to position task) and flexible behavior (reversal learning), respectively.
项目概要
阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 的特点是记忆障碍和潜在的神经病理学,包括
斑块、β 淀粉样肽、tau 蛋白与神经炎症和神经元损伤/损失相关,特别是在
内侧颞叶。然而,最近的研究表明前额叶的神经生理学改变
AD 患者在进行大体神经病理学检查之前,大脑皮层(PFC)就很明显,这可能会导致认知缺陷
公元早期的处理。鉴于 PFC 有助于对内存处理进行自上而下的控制,这是必要的
对于最佳决策,PFC 内的功能障碍可能会导致次优决策,从而导致
通常先于 AD 患者的严重记忆丧失。最佳决策需要有效的工作记忆
流程(即使用“在线”信息来指导选择)和灵活的行为(改变行为的能力)
对变化的后果的反应)。至关重要的是,早期 AD 可能会针对这些基础的大脑回路
前额依赖过程导致最佳认知处理的早期损伤。像这样,
了解 AD 中受影响的神经回路是复杂认知缺陷的基础,可能会导致更早和更早的认知障碍。
有效筛查AD风险并作为改善AD生活质量的重要治疗靶点
患者。大鼠前边缘皮层 (PrL) 与工作记忆和灵活行为密切相关
用于在线决策。 AD 大鼠被培育成显示出年龄依赖性神经病理学特征
与 AD 一致的(斑块、tau)在 PrL 依赖性认知任务中在积累之前受到损害
神经病理学。重要的是,PrL 依赖性任务中的这些缺陷先于其他记忆中的行为缺陷
不依赖于 PrL 函数的任务。因此,靶向体内 PrL 功能可能会恢复这些认知功能。
AD大鼠模型中的过程。在这里,我们的目标是使用非侵入性脑刺激来调节神经
振荡以恢复 PrL-海马神经活动(目标 1)和 PrL-眶额皮质神经活动(目标 2)
分别在工作记忆(延迟与位置任务不匹配)和灵活行为(逆向学习)中。
