nervous system
• increased numbers of microglia accompany degenerative changes
• microgliosis in the hippocampal fimbria at 26 weeks of age
• hippocampal fimbria exhibits APP+ axonal spheroids, microgliosis and astrogliosis
• mild astrocytosis accompanies degenerative changes (J:48031)
• moderate, but significant, astrogliosis in the hippocampal fimbria at 26 weeks of age (J:245100)
• occasionally inner tongue processes of pligdendrocytes contain degenerated organelles (J:48031)
• primary glial cultures have increased numbers of oligodendrocytes starting at the second division and persisting through at least the fourteenth division; however no increase in oligodendrocyte proliferation is seen (J:106182)
• in primary glial cultures oligodendrocyte sheets appear larger, vacuolated, and broken suggesting decreased stability of the myelin sheet (J:106182)
• at 6 - 8 weeks, focal axonal swellings containing organelles are seen mostly in areas where small diameter axons predominate throughout the white and gray matter
• by 1 year, numerous large axonal swellings are seen in the optic nerve and spinal cord with some also seen in Purkinje cell axons
• after 1 year, axonal degeneration is seen in the optic nerve and fasciculus gracilis; however, no signs of peripheral neuropathy are seen
• in areas of axonal swelling the myelin sheath becomes attenuated and is eventually lost though slippage (J:48031)
• decrease in cholesterol content (J:193310)
• APP+ axonal spheroids are present in the hippocampal fimbria and corpus callosum at 26 weeks of age
• evidence of demyelination is seen at 22 months of age

behavior/neurological
• at 16 months of age impaired performance in a rotarod test is seen
• at 16 months of age impaired performance in a rotarod test is seen
• older mice develop a slow gait

hematopoietic system
• increased numbers of microglia accompany degenerative changes
• microgliosis in the hippocampal fimbria at 26 weeks of age

immune system
• increased numbers of microglia accompany degenerative changes
• microgliosis in the hippocampal fimbria at 26 weeks of age
