The retinal degeneration (rd) gene seriously impairs spatial cognitive performance in normal and Alzheimer’s transgenic mice
23 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
To determine the effects of the recessive retinal degeneration (rd) gene on behavioral performance, three Alzheimer's transgenic lines (APPsw, P301L, APPsw + P301L) and non-transgenic littermates were evaluated in a comprehensive behavioral battery between 5 and 8.5 months of age. For all four genotypes collectively, rd homozygosity resulted in profound impairment in spatial cognitive tasks requiring visual...
