: The housing of the animals and all procedures were in accordance with the European international guidelines, with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (US National Institutes of Health) and were approved by the Malmö-Lund Ethical Committee for Animal research (M109-13) and Van Andel Research Institute’s IACUC (AUP 14-01-001). This article does not contain any studies with human participants performed by any of the authors (research on tissue derived from an autopsy is not considered as human subject research). For the post-mortem human brain tissue, a consent for autopsy was obtained from the next-of-kin at the time of the death.
