Restoring memory by optogenetic synchronization of hippocampal oscillations in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
Disrupted neural oscillations are a feature of Alzheimers disease (AD). We observed reduced frequency of theta oscillations in the hippocampal local field potential (LFP) in a mouse model of beta-amyloidosis. By restoring the temporal organization of theta oscillations using LFP-guided closed-loop optogenetic stimulation of parvalbumin-positive interneurons, we could rescue memory deficits of APP/PS1 mice in the novel object recognition test.
