Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded β-amyloid (Aβ) and Tau proteins. There has been longstanding interest as to whether AD might be transmissible similarly to prion diseases. Our objective was to study the transmissibility of AD endophenotypes after AD brain intracerebral inoculation in mice and primates.First, we showed that AD experimental transmission accelerated Aβ pathology in two rodent models of early or late genetic β-amyloidosis. Then, we focused on a primate model of sporadic AD, the mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus). AD-inoculated adult lemurs progressively developed cognitive impairments, neuronal activity alterations and cerebral atrophy. AD-inoculated mouse lemurs also developed subtle β-a...
