<p>Model: Young (2- to 4-month-old) and aged (9- to 10-month-old) C57Bl/6JR mice, APP/PS1 mice, and 5xFAD mice<br />
Dosage: 0.2 mg/mL of doxycycline in drinking water starting at least 7 days before surgery and ceased 2 days before the partial cellular reprogramming window for engram tagging, after which it was immediately reintroduced</p>


Gene Therapy Restores Cognitive Function in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease

Delivering a gene therapy targeting ensembles of neurons that store memories restores learning and memory capabilities in mouse models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
