Abstract
In the last couple of decades, substantial progress has been made in the development of transgenic mouse models developing amyloid-β deposits and/or neurofibrillary tangles. These mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders provide an excellent tool for investigating etiology, pathogenic mechanisms, and potential treatments. An essential component of their characterization is a detailed behavioral assessment, which clarifies the functional consequences of these pathologies. We have selected and refined a series of cognitive and sensorimotor tasks that are ideal for studying these models and the efficacy of various treatments.Entities:
