Long Wake/Short Sleep Bouts and Hyperactivity with Advanced Age in a Mouse Model of Early Onset Alzheimers Disease
This study demonstrates that aged AppNL-G-F mice, a model of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, exhibit a progressive phenotype of hyperactivity, fragmented sleep with long wake bouts, and reduced NREM/REM sleep—particularly in females—suggesting that amyloid-beta deposition impairs state transition mechanisms and validating this strain for investigating early-stage interventions.
