Place fields were less stable in the AD mice (this also improved across days). The stability of place cells correlated with the memory performance!

Place cell stability decreased more rapidly in AD mice than WT’s. Importantly, stability increased in session 2 (following rest) in WT but not AD mice.

MUA rate in the rest between sessions was not different between AD and WT mice. BUT – recruitment of cells to MUAs, and the structure within MUAs, was reduced in the AD mice!

Both recruitment to MUAs and structure within MUAs were predictive of place cell stability.

APP NL-G-F mice (which avoid APP overexpression) had decreased memory performance in a radial-arm maze task.

Compared to WT’s, the AD mice were more likely to return to arms they had already visited in trial, rather than visiting unique arms. But they did improve across days!
