| مستخلص: | In preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), spatial learning and memory is impaired. We reported similar impairments in 3xTg-AD mice on a virtual maze (VM) spatial-reorientation-task that requires using landmarks to navigate. Hippocampal (HPC)-cortical dysfunction during sleep (important for memory consolidation) is a potential mechanism for memory impairments in AD. We previously found deficits in HPC-cortical coordination during sleep coinciding with VM impairments the next day. Some forms of 40 Hz stimulation seem to clear AD pathology in mice, and improve functional connectivity in AD patients. Thus, we implanted a recording array targeting parietal cortex (PC) and HPC to assess HPC-PC coordination, and an optical fiber targeting HPC for 40 Hz or sham optogenetic stimulation in 3xTg/PV cre mice. We assessed PC delta waves (DW) and HPC sharp wave ripples (SWRs). In sham mice, SWR-DW cross-correlations were reduced, similar to 3xTg-AD mice. In 40 Hz mice, this phase-locking was rescued, as was performance on the VM. However, rescued HPC-PC coupling no longer predicted performance as in NonTg animals. Instead, DWs and SWRs independently predicted performance in 40 Hz mice. Thus, 40 Hz stimulation of HPC rescued functional interactions in the HPC-PC network, and rescued impairments in spatial navigation, but did not rescue the correlation between HPC-PC coordination during sleep and learning and memory. Together this pattern of results could inform AD treatment timing by suggesting that despite applying 40 Hz stimulation before significant tau and amyloid aggregation, pathophysiological processes led to brain changes that were not fully reversed even though cognition was recovered. Significance Statement: One of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is getting lost in space or experiencing deficits in spatial navigation, which involve navigation computations as well as learning and memory. We investigated cross brain region interactions supporting memory formation as a potential causative factor of impaired spatial learning and memory in AD. To assess this relationship between AD pathophysiology, brain changes, and behavioral alterations, we used a targeted approach for clearing amyloid beta and tau to rescue functional interactions in the brain. This research strongly connects brain activity patterns during sleep to tau and amyloid accumulation, and will aid in understanding the mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfunction in AD. Furthermore, the results offer insight for improving early identification and treatment strategies. |
