Subchronic Pathobiological Response Following Chronic Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in an Aged Preclinical Model of Amyloid Pathogenesis.

Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (r-mTBI) is a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD). The precise nature of how r-mTBI leads to, or precipitates, AD pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we explore subchronic effects of chronic r-mTBI (12-impacts) administered over 1-month in aged-PS1/APP mice and littermate controls.
