TLDR
The cheeseboard is presented as a valid alternative to other established spatial memory tests and the task-dependency of some of the findings suggests that behavioural profiling of APPxPS1 transgenic mice should be assessed using a variety of behavioural paradigms.

Using mice to model Alzheimer's dementia: an overview of the clinical disease and the preclinical behavioral changes in 10 mouse models.

TL;DR: This review discusses how behavioral tests in mice relate to the pathological and neuropsychological features seen in human Alzheimer's disease, and presents a comprehensive analysis of the temporal progression of behavioral impairments in commonly used AD mouse models that contain mutations in amyloid precursor protein (APP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of disease-related cognitive impairments using the novel object recognition (NOR) task in rodents.

TL;DR: The novel object recognition test (NOR) test is a two trial cognitive paradigm that assesses recognition memory that is used in rodents for investigating deficits in a variety of animal models of human conditions where cognition is impaired and for testing the efficacy of novel therapeutic agents.

Subtle behavioral changes and increased prefrontal-hippocampal network synchronicity in APPNL-G-F mice before prominent plaque deposition.

TL;DR: Assessment confirmed that behavior at these early ages was largely unaffected in these mice in accordance with previous reports, with some subtle behavioral changes, mainly in social and anxiety‐related test performance.

Distinguishing normal brain aging from the development of Alzheimer's disease: inflammation, insulin signaling and cognition

TL;DR: The difficulties with discerning normal, age-related cognitive decline with that related to AD are discussed and some neuropathological features of AD and aging are discussed, including amyloid and tau pathology, synapse loss, inflammation and insulin signaling in the brain, with a view to highlighting cognitive or neuropathology markers that distinguish AD from normal aging.

Inflammation, insulin signaling and cognitive function in aged APP/PS1 mice

TL;DR: The results suggest that normal aging may be associated with enhanced neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and cognitive decline, however distinctions are apparent in the brain of APP/PS1 mice in terms of inflammation and insulin signaling and in certain cognitive domains.

Place navigation impaired in rats with hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: It is reported that, in addition to a spatial discrimination impairment, total hippocampal lesions also cause a profound and lasting placenavigational impairment that can be dissociated from correlated motor, motivational and reinforcement aspects of the procedure.

The Global Deterioration Scale for assessment of primary degenerative dementia.

TL;DR: The authors describe a Global Deterioration Scale for the assessment of primary degenerative dementia and delineation of its stages and have used it successfully for more than 5 years and validated it against behavioral, neuroanatomic, and neurophysiologic measures in patients with primary degeneratives dementia.

Pathways towards and away from Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Rapid progress towards understanding the cellular and molecular alterations that are responsible for the neuron's demise may soon help in developing effective preventative and therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's disease.

Mutant presenilins specifically elevate the levels of the 42 residue β-amyloid peptide in vivo: evidence for augmentation of a 42-specific γ secretase

TL;DR: A direct correlation between the concentration of Aβ42 and the rate of amyloid deposition is demonstrated and suggests that PS1 variants do not simply alter the preferred cleavage site for γ-secretase, but rather that they have more complex effects on the regulation of ιsecretase and its access to substrates.
