behavior/neurological
N
• at 6 months, mice exhibit normal behavior
• at 18 to 20 months, mice take longer to find the platform in the Morris water maze compared with wild-type mice
• during the probe trials, 18 to 20 month old mice tend to have a preference for the training target zone compared with wild-type mice
• during the two probe trials, mice exhibit a minor reduction in searching precision after 24 hours and a total loss of spatial selectivity after 6 days compared with wild-type mice
• in Morris water maze, aged mice exhibit increased passive floating and reduced swim speed compared with wild-type mice
• in an open field test, aged mice exhibit reduced activity, preference for the wall zone, reduced vertical activity, and more numerous fecal boli compared with wild-type mice
• in Morris water maze and in an open field tests with aged mice
• in Morris water maze, aged mice exhibit increased passive floating and reduced swim speed compared with wild-type mice
• in an open field test with aged mice
• in an open field test with aged mice

nervous system
• at 18 months, mice exhibit age-dependent, vasculature-associated Dan-amyloid deposition in the amygdala, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum unlike wild-type mice
• smaller vessels are often obstructed by depositions
• perivascular plaques often surround a significant portion of the vessel surface
• 18 month old mice exhibit cerebral microhemorrhages unlike in wild-type mice
• 18 month old mice exhibit cerebral microhemorrhages unlike in wild-type mice
• in juxtaposition to amyloid depositions
• neuronal cell bodies in the CA3/4 region of the hippocampus are displaced compared to in wild-type mice
• Dan-amyloid deposition elicits activation of astrocytes throughout the entire brain
• mice exhibit dystrophic neurites unlike wild-type mice
• Dan-amyloid lesions are associated with dystrophic boutons

cardiovascular system
• at 18 months, mice exhibit age-dependent, vasculature-associated Dan-amyloid deposition in the amygdala, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum unlike wild-type mice
• smaller vessels are often obstructed by depositions
• perivascular plaques often surround a significant portion of the vessel surface
• 18 month old mice exhibit cerebral microhemorrhages unlike in wild-type mice
• 18 month old mice exhibit cerebral microhemorrhages unlike in wild-type mice

growth/size/body
• at 18 months, mice are 20% to 30% lighter than wild-type mice
• coinciding with Dan-amyloid accumulation

skeleton
• at 18 months

hematopoietic system
• in juxtaposition to amyloid depositions

immune system
• in juxtaposition to amyloid depositions

integument
• at 18 months

homeostasis/metabolism
• at 18 months, mice exhibit age-dependent, vasculature-associated Dan-amyloid deposition in the amygdala, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum unlike wild-type mice
• smaller vessels are often obstructed by depositions
• perivascular plaques often surround a significant portion of the vessel surface
• perivascular amyloid penetrates into the surrounding parenchyma and is surrounded by microglia and dystrophic neurites
