nervous system
• deposits of human beta-amyloid are seen in the hippocampus, corpus callosum and cerebral cortex, beginning at 6 - 9 months, and increasing in density with age
(J:23080)
• mice develop plaques by 12 months of age in the hippocampus and the outer molecular layer of the dentate gyrus with a subset of plaques positive for fibrillar amyloid
(J:127846)
• plaque deposition increases with age with greater than 85% of the hippocampus covered in plaques at 24 months of age
(J:127846)
|
• synaptic and dendritic density are reduced in the molecular layer
|
• amyoid plaques are associated with distorted neurites
|
• the majority of amyloid plaques are surrounded by GFAP-positive reactive astrocytes
