Inhibitory Interneuron Transplants May Offer Potential Alzheimer’s Therapy

Researchers say they have shown  the therapeutic benefits of genetically improving inhibitory interneurons and transplanting them into the brain of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. They published their study (“ Nav1.1-Overexpressing Interneuron Transplants Restore Brain Rhythms and Cognition in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease ") in Neuron .“Inhibitory interneurons regulate the oscillatory rhythms and network synchrony that are required for cognitive functions and disru
