Although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, pathologies similar to those observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been identified in the brains of aged or CDS-affected cats, including brain atrophy, neuronal loss, amyloid-beta plaques, tau pathology and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Neuroinflammation and synapse loss, other important hallmarks of AD, may also play important roles in feline ageing and CDS, but these are yet to be explored. Several mechanisms of synapse loss have been described in human AD and mouse models of amyloidopathy, including synaptic accumulation of amyloid-beta and the aberrant induction of synaptic engulfment by microglia and astrocytes. In this study, immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy were used to examine the parietal cortex of young (<i>n</i> = 7), aged (<i>n</i> = 10) and CDS-affected (<i>n</i> = 8) cats. Linear mixed effect modelling revealed that amyloid-beta accumulates within synapses in the aged and CDS-affected brain. Additionally, in the aged and CDS groups, there was microgliosis, astrogliosis and increased synaptic engulfment by microglia and astrocytes in regions with Aβ plaques. Further, microglia and astrocytes show increased internalisation of amyloid-beta-containing synapses near plaques. These findings suggest that amyloid-beta exerts a pathogenic effect in the feline brain, with mechanisms mirroring those seen in human AD. Importantly, these results support the use of feline CDS as a naturally occurring, translational model of Alzheimer's disease, offering valuable insights into AD pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.</p>","PeriodicalId":11993,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Neuroscience","volume":"62 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejn.70180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144814945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although spatial localization and temporal detection of audiovisual signals have each been extensively studied, the neural mechanisms underlying their joint influence, particularly in spatiotemporally misaligned contexts, remain poorly understood. Moreover, empirical dissection of their respective contributions to behavioral outcomes proves challenging when spatial and temporal disparities are introduced concurrently. Here, we sought to elucidate the mutual interaction of temporal and spatial offsets on the neural encoding of audiovisual stimuli. To this end, we developed a biologically inspired neurocomputational model that reproduces behavioral evidence of perceptual phenomena observed in audiovisual tasks, i.e., the modality switch effect (temporal realm) and the ventriloquist effect (spatial realm). Tested against the race model, our network successfully simulates multisensory enhancement in reaction times due to the concurrent presentation of cross-modal stimuli. Further investigation on the mechanisms implemented in the network upheld the centrality of cross-sensory inhibition in explaining modality switch effects and of cross-modal and lateral intra-area connections in regulating the evolution of these effects in space. Finally, the model predicts an amelioration in temporal detection of different modality stimuli with increasing between-stimuli eccentricity and indicates a plausible reduction in auditory localization bias for increasing interstimulus interval between spatially disparate cues. Our findings provide novel insights into the neural computations underlying audiovisual perception and offer a comprehensive predictive framework to guide future experimental investigations of multisensory integration.</p>","PeriodicalId":11993,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Neuroscience","volume":"62 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ejn.70217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144782755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, another team reported evidence for an eye position signal consistent with the classical model, even showing that accurate eye position can be decoded from neural activity. We modeled two subpopulations of neurons in LIP receiving input from two different sources, one representing the corollary discharge containing predictive presaccadic signals, the other representing a slowly updating proprioceptive eye position signal. By decoding eye position from the neural activity of these subpopulations, we observed the model containing sufficient information to allow the decoder to accurately predict and track the perisaccadic eye position.
