Reactivity to object and spatial novelty is normal in older Ts65Dn mice that model Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease.

Hyde LA, Crnic LS (2002) Reactivity to object and spatial novelty is normal in older Ts65Dn mice that model Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. Brain Res 945:26-30. doi: 10.1016/s0006-8993(02)02500-3

Summary: The authors hypothesized that a mouse model for Down syndrome may show some of the same cognitive deficits exhibited by rats lesioned with 192-Saporin (Cat. #IT-01), which eliminates cholinergic cells in the basal forebrain. The results suggest that in this Down syndrome model, cell loss has a much greater cognitive effect if it happens early in development as opposed to in adulthood.
