This study found that female 5XFAD mice exhibit early impairments in prefrontal-dependent cognitive functions and increased activity of prefrontal PV neurons, unlike their male counterparts. These findings suggest a potential mechanism for the higher risk of Alzheimer's disease in women, highlighting sex-specific early deregulation in the prefrontal cortex.
Urgent climate action is needed to ensure effectiveness of protected areas for biodiversity benefits
