behavior/neurological
• mice show impaired memory in the Y-maze test at 18 months of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit cortical amyloidosis after 6 months of age
• mice produce more amyloid beta42 than controls, which increase with age and progressive amyloid beta pathology
• the ratio of amyloid beta42 to amyloid beta40 is increased
• initial amyloid beta deposition is seen at 6 months of age
• amyloid beta1-42 appears initially, followed by amyloid beta3(pE)-42 and amyloid betaX-40 is a minor species

hematopoietic system
• accumulation of microglia, a sign of neuroinflammation, around the amyloid beta plaques

immune system
• accumulation of microglia, a sign of neuroinflammation, around the amyloid beta plaques

nervous system
• accumulation of microglia, a sign of neuroinflammation, around the amyloid beta plaques
• mice produce more amyloid beta42 than controls, which increase with age and progressive amyloid beta pathology
• the ratio of amyloid beta42 to amyloid beta40 is increased
• initial amyloid beta deposition is seen at 6 months of age
• amyloid beta1-42 appears initially, followed by amyloid beta3(pE)-42 and amyloid betaX-40 is a minor species
• accumulation of activated astrocytes, a sign of neuroinflammation, around the amyloid beta plaques
• synaptic alternations as indicated by loss of synaptophysin and PSD95 immunoreactivity
