Abstract excerpt
The senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM) is known to be a murine model for accelerated aging. A novel inbred SAMP10 has shown age-related brain atrophy and learning deficiency. In the present study, we investigated the changes in learning ability and in ligand binding with muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptors, alpha adrenoceptors and protein kinase C in SAMP10. In Morris's water maze task, in a control strain...
