Significance Anterior thalamus exhibits significant functional changes with increasing age. While it has been associated cognitive functions, the specific circuitry relevant for working memory remains unknown. The significance of this study is threefold: First, anteroventral subdivision anterior thalamic nuclei necessary maintenance; second, aged mice showed a decrease in excitability neurons, which correlated impairment; and third, activating neurons was sufficient to improve their memory.

Background: Fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, exerts therapeutic effects in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), chronic neurodegenerative with progressive loss memory. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. In addition, gut microbiota and its metabolites have been implicated AD. Methods: We examined effect fasudil on learning memory using Morris water-maze (MWM) test APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic (APP/PS1) mice (8 months old) treated (i.p.) (25 mg/kg/day; ADF) or saline (ADNS) age-...
