Alzheimer's disease models
 

Rat

  • Aged FBN strain (naturally occurring, gradual cognitive decline without concurrent motor decline)
  • Amyloid injection-induced neurodegeneration in hippocampus

Mouse

  • Several hAPP transgenic mouse models, plus an hTAU441 double-mutation mouse model

Dog (aged)

  • Progressive age-related decline in memory, complex learning, activity, and social interaction tests
  • Extent of cognitive decline correlated with amyloid plaque load and cortical atrophy
  • Sleep-Wakefulness rhythms disrupted (EEG)

DMTS test in dogs (above)

 

In Vitro Assays

  • Aß-induced neurotoxicity in mesencephalic and NT2N cells
