behavior/neurological
• 9-month old mice show impaired memory retention in Morris water maze, exhibiting delayed escape latency compared to controls in all 6 trials
• impairment observed at 10 months of age; mice show greater impairment than Tg(APP)8.9Btla mice
• exploratory behavior is increased for both familiar and novel objects
• at 9 months, a delay of learning process in Morris water maze is observed compared to controls; double mutants are significantly impaired relative to controls
• at 4.5 months of age, rate of learning platform position during first day of Morris water maze testing is impaired compared to controls or Tg(APP)8.9Btla/Tg(SOD1)69Yg double mutants
• mice spend greater amounts of time in the closed arms of an elevated plus maze than Tg(SOD1)51Yg or Tg(APP)8.9Btla mice; time per entry into dark arms is increased relative to Tg(APP)8.9Btla mice and total entries into dark arms is greater than controls
• mice spend much more time in dark side of dark-light box than either single transgenic line or controls
• transgenic mice display more spontaneous locomotor activity than controls

nervous system
• mic show a 2-fold increase of cortical APP proteins and a 2.5-2.8-fold increase in hippocampal APP levels compared to Tg(APP)8.9Btla mice
• no Abeta peptides are detected in 5 month old mice
• LTP is impaired

behavior/neurological
• at 5.5 months of age, mice do not appear to recall platform position from the previous day of training and show a lower learning rate over subsequent trials

vision/eye
N
• little or no perturbation of the retinas structure or cornea is observed
• numerous bodies with circular profiles are present in all lens sections examined
• circles are present in lenses from mice >6 months of age; circles are 1-5 um in diameter
• lenses from 6 and 16 month-old mice contain swollen cortical fiber cells and lens plaques
