Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting a significant and growing proportion of the elderly population. There are several mouse models exhibiting a variety of AD phenotypes on a multiple genetic backgrounds available to study AD. The model we use is the B6;129-Psen1tm1Mpm Tg(APPSwe,tauP301L)1Lfa/Mmjax (3xTg-AD) mouse, a triple transgenic model that develops both the amyloid-b plaques and neurofibrillary (tau) tangles. Our study aims to provide more information regarding the various cognitive and biochemical characteristics of the 3xTg-AD model compared to the background and parental strains. Here we report our preliminary data buried food tests examining olfactory effects, specifically the ability to identify (rather than discriminate between) odors.
