Retinal and thalamic alterations in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. by Shaylah McCool, Jennie C Smith, Asia Sladek, Shan Fan, Matthew J Van Hook

“…Due to the widespread pathological nature of AD, many brain regions are affected by Aβ plaques including regions important for vision such as the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus which is critical for relaying signals from the retina to the primary visual cortex. Using a wide range of techniques including electrophysiological approaches, in vivo and ex vivo imaging methods, and immunohistochemistry in a mouse model with progressing amyloidosis (5xFAD), the goal of this study was to determine whether AD-like pathology disrupts neuronal and synaptic structure and function in the visual system. …”
