摘要
In this investigation, we probed the impacts of 40 Hz Electroacupuncture (EA) on the cognitive function and brain activity in 5xFAD mice. Three groups of mice were constituted: the Model group of 5xFAD mice, the Wild Type (WT) group of littermate controls, and the EA group of 5xFAD mice subjected to EA treatment. Behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate memory function and anxiety levels, while the presence of Aβ plaques were detected via immunostaining, and neuronal activity was measured using multichannel recordings. Our results indicated that EA therapy enhanced memory function and anxiety-like behavior in 5xFAD mice, as well as diminishing the abundance and dimensions of Aβ plaques in the hippocampus and mPFC regions. Notably, the suppression of astrocyte activation was observed, which was potentially associated with alterations in gamma oscillation. Furthermore, the synaptic transmission of neurons was amplified, suggesting a possible modulation in neural activity. These findings indicate that 40 Hz EA could influence cognitive performance and potentially affect neuronal activity in 5xFAD mice, while the direct connection between EA and neuronal electrical activity regulation requires further exploration. The potential frequency-specific effects of EA on protective mechanisms in the brain was not addressed in this study and thus presents a direction for future research.
