bp(GO:"synaptic transmission, cholinergic") association bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

1 Several lines of evidence suggest that impaired cholinergic signaling plays a key role in mediating both the cognitive and the behavioral impairments observed in AD patients.12 The basal forebrain cholinergic system is disproportionately affected in AD patients, with a robust loss of cholinergic neurons, including those innervating the hippocampus and cortex. PubMed:24511233

path(MESH:Schizophrenia) association bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Psychosis is the hallmark symptom of SZ and manifests as hallucinations, disordered thought/speech, and delusions. While these psychotic symptoms are commonly associated with SZ, it has become well documented that these patients also experience cognitive and behavioral disturbances that are not adequately addressed by currently prescribed typical and atypical psychotics. PubMed:24511233

a(CHEBI:bexarotene) increases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Bexarotene is a highly specific RXR agonist and is currently FDA approved with a favorable side effect profile. Studies in our laboratory have shown that treatment of APP/ PS1 animals with bexarotene for only 3 days results in a dramatic induction of ApoE and ABCA1 and the rapid reversal of AD-associated pathological hallmarks including reduction in amyloid deposition and deficits in behavior as well as neural networks. PubMed:21718217

a(CHEBI:pioglitazone) increases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Furthermore, the treatment of APP/PS1 mouse model of AD with pioglitazone (80 mg/kg/day) for 9 days lowered plaque burden by ~ 50% and reversed behavioral deficits in contextual fear conditioning assay. PubMed:21718217

a(CHEBI:rosiglitazone) increases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Pedersen and Flynn examined the effects of rosiglitazone and found that activation of PPAR-g ameliorated behavioral deficits in the Tg2576 AD mouse model. However, these animals displayed no changes in plaque pathology, but had reduced brain Ab42 levels. PubMed:21718217

p(HGNC:MAPT) association bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

While evidence has linked FTD with parkinsonism in patients to tau mutations on chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), implying that tau dysfunction alone can cause neurodegeneration (Reed et al., 2001), studies in animal models have shown that overexpression of tau can lead to cell death (Lee et al., 2001; Tanemura et al., 2001, 2002; Tatebayashi et al., 2002) and exhibit behavioral abnormalities and synaptic dysfunction without the presence of NFTs (Wittmann et al., 2001; Andorfer et al., 2003; Santacruz et al., 2005; Spires et al., 2006; Berger et al., 2007; Yoshiyama et al., 2007; Cowan et al., 2010) PubMed:28420982

p(HGNC:MME) increases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

And in APP transgenic mice, long-term gene therapy of NEP ameliorates behavior by lowering the levels of Aβ (Spencer et al. 2008) PubMed:29626319

g(HGNC:NLRP3) decreases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Deficiency of the NLRP3 gene reduces Aβ deposition and plays a protective role on memory and behavior (Heneka et al.,2013) PubMed:24561250

complex(GO:"NF-kappaB complex") regulates bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

Given the indispensable role of NF-κB proteins in synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity, it is not surprising that NF-κB is plays an indispensable role in cognition and behavior as well PubMed:28745240

a(CHEBI:sirolimus) increases bp(GO:behavior) View Subject | View Object

This is further supported by mounting evidence obtained in rodent models, which demonstrate that rapamycin normalizes impaired social interactions and reverses behavioral defects PubMed:30061532

We have previously shown essentially no significant NAP effects on behavior in the Adnp+/+ mice PubMed:30664622
