Current therapeutic strategies for Alzheimers disease (AD) target amyloid-beta (A{beta}) fibrils and high molecular weight protofibrils associated with plaques, but molecular cascades associated with AD may drive neural systems failure before A{beta} plaque deposition in AD. Employing hippocampal electrophysiological recordings and dynamic calcium imaging across the sleep-wake cycle in a freely behaving mouse model of AD before A{beta} plaques accumulated, we detected marked impairments of hippocampal systems function: In a spatial behavioral task, phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) of the hippocampal theta and gamma oscillations was impaired and place cell calcium fluctuations were hyper-synchronized with the theta oscillation. These changes were not observed in REM sleep. In subsequent slow wave sleep (SWS), place cell reactivation was reduced. These degraded neural functions underlying memory encoding and consolidation support targeting pathological processes of the pre-plaque phase of AD to treat and prevent hippocampal impairments.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
