Dentate gyrus circuits for encoding, retrieval and discrimination of episodic memories

T Hainmueller, M Bartos - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020 - nature.com
The dentate gyrus (DG) has a key role in hippocampal memory formation. Intriguingly, DG
lesions impair many, but not all, hippocampus-dependent mnemonic functions, indicating …

Microglia use TAM receptors to detect and engulf amyloid β plaques

Y Huang, KE Happonen, PG Burrola, C O'Connor… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Two microglial TAM receptor tyrosine kinases, Axl and Mer, have been linked to Alzheimer's

Hippocampal sharp wave‐ripple: A cognitive biomarker for episodic memory and planning

G Buzsáki - Hippocampus, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Sharp wave ripples (SPW‐Rs) represent the most synchronous population pattern in the
mammalian brain. Their excitatory output affects a wide area of the cortex and several …

[HTML][HTML] Plaque associated microglia hyper-secrete extracellular vesicles and accelerate tau propagation in a humanized APP mouse model

K Clayton, JC Delpech, S Herron, N Iwahara… - Molecular …, 2021 - Springer
Background Recent studies suggest that microglia contribute to tau pathology progression in
