behavior/neurological
• mice develop hindlimb clasping after 2 months of age
• 4 month old males perform poorly in the pole test, a test of basal ganglia-related movement control
• mice develop progressive ataxia
• mice perform poorly in the rotarod with a shorter latency to fall than wild-type mice at 4 months of age
• 4 month old males perform poorly in the cylinder test of rearing
• mice show poor negative geotaxis performance at 4 months of age

cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts show reduced capacity to degrade amyloid beta peptides
• isolated brain and liver mitochondria show impaired degradation rate of amyloid beta(1-42)

homeostasis/metabolism
• amyloid deposits are seen in the brains of 4, 6, and 12 month old males
• reduction in carbon dioxide production at 4 months of age
• reduction in oxygen consumption at 4 months of age
• mice show a reduction in heat production over 36 hours of observation

nervous system
• amyloid deposits are seen in the brains of 4, 6, and 12 month old males
• 12 month old brains show gliosis and accumulation of ubiquitin-positive material in the neuropil and neurons
• mild neuronal loss at 12 months of age
