behavior/neurological
• after 5 days of training,12-month old transgenic mice show behavioral deficits compared to controls, as escape latencies are longer and swimming distance are significantly greater than controls
• swim velocity is only slightly slower than that of wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• in forebrain, number of TUNEL-positive nuclei appears greatert
|
• brain levels of amyloid (Abeta) are higher than in controls at 12 months of age; Abeta-42 levels are ~3-fold higher
• Abeta deposition is observed in the cortex and hippocampus
|
• at 12 months of age, mice show areas of neuron loss in the hippocampus
|
cellular

homeostasis/metabolism
• brain levels of amyloid (Abeta) are higher than in controls at 12 months of age; Abeta-42 levels are ~3-fold higher
• Abeta deposition is observed in the cortex and hippocampus
