A novel model of binge ethanol exposure reveals enhanced neurodegeneration with advanced age
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Binge drinking is rising among aged adults (>65 years of age). The distinct effects of binge ethanol exposure on neurodegeneration in the aged brain are not well described. Using our model of intermittent binge ethanol exposure in young and aged mice, we investigated how binge ethanol expoure may promote neurodegenerative diease development. Spatial transcriptomics revealed that binge ethanol exposure enriched neurodegenerative disease pathways in the aged hippocampus, including tau hyperphosphorylation and neuronal death. These data suggest binge drinking during advanced aging may promote neurodegenerative disease development.
