Heightened Hippocampal β-Adrenergic Receptor Function Drives Synaptic Potentiation and Supports Learning and Memory in the TgF344-AD Rat Model during Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease

Abstract: The central noradrenergic (NA) system is critical for the maintenance of attention, behavioral flexibility, spatial navigation, and learning and memory, those cognitive functions lost first in early Alzheimer's disease (AD). In fact, the locus coeruleus (LC), the sole source of norepinephrine (NE) for .90% of the brain, is the first site of pathologic tau accumulation in human AD with axon loss throughout forebrain, including hippocampus. The dentate gyrus is heavily innervated by LC-NA axons, where released N… Show more

“…Though unexpected, enhanced extinction in middle-aged TgAD rats is consistent with our previous study of no extinction differences between 10–13-month-old WT and TgAD rats (Goodman et al, 2021) and another reporting 3×Tg-AD mice were better than WT during extinction (Pietropaolo et al, 2008). As detailed above, it is unlikely that diminished salience to the US explains spared extinction, though circuit-level compensation could offer one explanation.…”

“…Consistent with no genotypic difference in fear acquisition in young and middle-aged rats, we recently reported no differences in contextual fear acquisition in a cohort of 10-13-mo-old WT and TgAD rats given a series of uncued foot shocks (Goodman et al, 2021). Aging, however, attenuated acquisition in middle-aged rats, spared acquisition in older-aged WT rats, and impaired acquisition in older-aged TgAD rats, consistent with studies showing aging attenuates, but doesn't grossly impair, acquisition (Villarreal et al, 2004;Kaczorowski et al, 2012).…”
