High-fat diet negatively affects brain markers, cognitive behaviors, and noncognitive behaviors in the rTg4510 tau mouse model.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) drastically impacts cognitive and noncognitive behaviors in both humans and animal models. Two hallmark proteins in AD, amyloid-β plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, accumulate in regions of the brain critical for learning and memory, including the hippocampus. Poor dietary choices have been shown to exacerbate cognitive deficits seen in AD.

Lion's Mane () Exerts Anxiolytic Effects in the rTg4510 Tau Mouse Model.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) significantly impairs the life of an individual both cognitively and behaviorally. Tau and beta-amyloid (Aβ) proteins are major contributors to the etiology of AD. This study used mice modeling AD through the presence of tau pathology to assess the effects of Hericium erinaceus (H.
