Alzheimers disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-{beta} (A{beta}) plaques and neurofibrillary Tau tangles, ultimately leading to brain atrophy and death. To elucidate the relationship between the aberrant folding and aggregation of A{beta} and mutant Tau and neuronal function, we monitored neuronal activity in C. elegans AD models across age. Our findings reveal that expression of both A{beta} and Tau lead to significant reductions in neuronal activity and function in young adult animals preceding the accumulation of amyloid aggregates. Notably, A{beta} expression and aggregation in muscle tissue produced comparable detrimental effects on neuronal activity as its expression in neurons, suggesting that proteotoxic stress in muscle can influence neuronal function. This may occur through the propagation of A{beta} from muscle to neurons or through retrograde signaling pathways. Further, our new sub-stoichiometrically labeled Tau strains highlight that TauP301L,V337M has a significant impact on neuronal activity throughout aging. These results enhance our understanding of the early functional effects of amyloid aggregation in Alzheimers disease.

"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.
