Cell Type-Specific Structural and Functional Signatures of APOE4, Age and Sex in the Mouse Anterior Olfactory Nucleus

As the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), the human APOE {varepsilon}4 allele alters neuronal physiology before overt pathology. However, how aging and sex modify these effects in the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON), an early AD-affected brain region, remains unclear. Here, we performed whole-cell recordings and post hoc morphological reconstructions of…
