Fig. 6: Chronic social isolation-unpredictable stress accelerates Aβ plaque deposition in 5xFAD mice.

Representative coronal brain sections showing staining of Aβ plaques and quantitative analysis of Aβ plaque load in the entorhinal cortex A, hippocampus B and mPFC C of 5xFAD mice under control (Ctrl) or chronic social isolation and unpredictable stress (SIUS) conditions. n = 8–10 sections from 4–5 mice per sex per group. Scale bar = 200 µm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared with Ctrl mice.
