Alzheimer's disease models      

 

 

 

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

Mouse

  • Aged C57 (numerous cognitive deficits at 24 months) 

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
  • Anti-amyloid and anti-aggregation assays.
