Early Tactile Stimulation Influences the Development of Alzheimer Disease in Gestationally Stressed APP<sup>NL-G-F</sup>Adult Offspring<sup><i>NL-G-F/NL-G-F</i></sup>mice

Abstract Alzheimer Disease (AD) is associated with cerebral plaques and tangles, reduced synapse number, and shrinkage in several brain areas and these morphological effects are associated with the onset of compromised cognitive, motor, and anxiety-like behaviours. The focus of this study was to examine the effect of neonatal tactile stimulation on AD-like behavioural and neurological symptoms on APPNL-G-F/NL-G-Fmice, a mouse model of AD. Our findings indicate that neonatal tactile stimulation improves cognition, motor skills, and anxiety-like symptoms in both gestationally stressed and non-stressed adult APP mice and that these alterations are associated with reduced Aβ plaque formation. Thus, tactile stimulation appears to be a promising non-invasive preventative strategy for slowing the onset of dementia in aging animals..
