  "summary": "Alzheimers Disease (AD) and related dementias (AD/RDs) impact cortical motor and sensory biology whereas the precise changes to these systems, and their clinical relevance, remain under debate. We hypothesized that cortical representations of complex and simple movements are differently altered during disease progression in 5XFAD mice, a well-established model of AD. Motor cortex somatotopy was…",
