This analysis was also performed in a group of aged mice. By using in-vivo two-photon microscopy the group found that the transgenic mice showed low levels of cortical perfusion during steady state. They also found that both, transgenic and aged mice, showed hemodynamic disturbances during steady state and functional activation.

The group proposes that capillary dysfunction during rest and functional activation, could be a biomarker of age-related changes in brain oxygenation.

The results of the study, Disturbances in the control of capillary flow in an aged APPswe/PS1ΔE9 model of Alzheimer's disease, is published in Neurobiology of Aging.
