Impaired memory and evidence of histopathology in CA1 pyramidal neurons through Injection of Abeta1-42 peptides into the frontal cortices of rat

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease [AD] is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, which has much benefited from animal models to find the basics of its pathophysiology. In our previous work [Haghani, Shabani, Javan, Motamedi, and Janahmadi, 2012], a non-transgenic rat model of AD was used in electrophysiological studies. However, we did not investigate the histological aspects in the mentioned study
