Cholinergic basal forebrain degeneration due to sleep-disordered breathing exacerbates pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Sleep-disordered breathing is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Here the authors use mesopontine tegmentum lesion to model sleep disordered breathing in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, and find that some features of the Alzheimer’s disease-like phenotype are exacerbated.
