Abstract
The interplay of genetics and the environment in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not well understood. Now, Lazarov and coworkers show that a simple paradigm of environmental enrichment alleviates amyloid burden and alters disease-associated gene expression changes in a double transgenic mouse model of AD.
