This article contains errors in the Introduction, where


AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F mice carrying the homozygous mutant App gene encoding the humanised Aβ sequence (G601R, F606Y, and R609H) with three pathogenic mutations, namely Swedish (KM595/596NL), Beyreuther/Iberian (I641F), and Arctic (E618G)10, progressively exhibit Aβ accumulation starting at 4 to 6 months of age, dense distributions of microglia and astrocytes from 9 months of age, and behavioural symptoms from 8 to 12 months of age10,11.”

In addition, in the Methods section, under the subheading ‘Animals’,


“Heterozygous App+/NL-G-F mice carrying humanised Aβ sequence (G601R, F606Y, R609H), Swedish (ML595/596NL), Beyreuther/Iberian (I641F), and Arctic (E618G) mutations, were previously established10.”
