Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's Disease (AD) leads to synapse loss and cognitive decline, and researchers are exploring ways to promote brain health since there’s no cure.
- Environmental Enrichment (EE), which enhances cognitive stimulation through better living conditions, has been shown to improve brain plasticity and behavioral outcomes in animal models, including those with AD.
- EE appears to influence key brain systems and proteins, suggesting it could be a new strategy for enhancing neuroprotection and plasticity in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in different processes of the central nervous system. Our aims were to investigate the effect of IL-6 on retinotectal topography and on different signaling pathways. Rats were submitted to an intravitreous injection of either IL-6 (50 ng/ml) or PBS (vehicle) at postnatal day 10 (PND10).
