"The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is central to AD pathogenesis and we recently showed that its intracellular domain (AICD) could modify synaptic signal integration. We now hypothezise that AICD modifies neuron firing activity, thus contributing to the disruption of memory processes. Using cellular, electrophysiological and behavioural techniques, we showed that pathological AICD levels weakens CA1 neuron firing activity through a gene transcription-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, increased AICD production in hippocampal neurons modifies oscillatory activity, specifically in the gamma frequency range, and disrupts spatial memory task. Collectively, our data suggest that AICD pathological levels, observed in AD mouse models and in human patients, might contribute to progressive neuron homeostatic failure, driving the shift from normal ageing to AD."

The Amyloid Precursor Protein C-terminal domain alters CA1 neuron firing, modifying hippocampus oscillations and impairing spatial memory encoding by Paula A. Pousinha, Xavier Mouska, Daniela Bianchi, Mariana Temido-Ferreira, Joana Rajão-Saraiva, Rui Gomes, Sebastian P. Fernandez, Ana Rita Salgueiro-Pereira, Carine Gandin, Elisabeth F. Raymond, Jacques Barik, Luisa V. Lopes, Michele Migliore, Romain Goutagny, Ingrid Bethus and Hélène Marie (2019). Cell Reports. In press.


The CA1 pyramidal cell model is the one previously validated against experimental findings and used to build a network (Bianchi et al., 2014, ModelDB accession number 151126). We optimized the neuron model to reproduce the number of spikes observed experimentally under control conditions as a function of a somatic current injection.

The testcell.hoc file will reproduce the results in Fig. 5A of the paper (CTR case). 
Setting the variable somacaL=0.01 in testcell.hoc and soma_kca=0.005 in pyramidalcell4b.hoc, the results shown in Fig. 5B (AICD case) will be displayed.
