Behavioral Assessment in hAPP Transgenic Mice
Objective: Assessment of behavioral alterations and onset of behavioral changes in hAPP transgenic mice with reduced Sod2 activity, including sensorimotor gating deficits
This is a Behavioral Assessment in hAPP Transgenic Mice protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2006 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Behavioral assessment in hAPP transgenic mice
Conduct behavioral testing to assess alterations and onset of behavioral changes in hAPP transgenic mice with reduced Sod2 activity compared to wild-type controls
Note: Testing performed on hAPP mice with Sod2 +/- genotype versus Sod2 +/+ controls

Prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle testing
Measure prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle as an indicator of sensorimotor gating deficits in hAPP mice with reduced Sod2 activity
Note: This measure was accelerated in onset in hAPP mice with reduced Sod2 activity
