Abstract
Recent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) studies have focused on retinal analysis, as the retina is the only part of the central nervous system which can be imaged non-invasively by optical methods. The appearance of the retina of the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD was therefore evaluated by a custom-built multi-contrast optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. By visualizing retinal changes over a range of ages in intensity-, polarization- and motion-based contrast modes simultaneously, observations in the retina were documented and compared to both retinal whole-mounts and conventional histological sections. The data was also correlated to the cortical amyloid beta plaque load.
