Animal olfactory behavioral studies

Study AD Model Age Task Result
Cassano et al. 2011 3xTg 18 months Odor discrimination, social behavior Intact discrimination, impaired social transmission
Girard et al. 2013 5xFAD 2-,4-,6-months Olfactory delayed alternation and reversal Deficits at 4 months
Phillips et al. 2011 APP/PS1 6–8 months Odor versus visuospatial sensitivity and discrimination Intact olfaction, impaired visuospatial
Montgomery et al. 2011 APP/PS1 12 months Odor sensitivity, learning, spatial memory Intact odor sensitivity, deficient learning, intact spatial memory
Wu et al. 2013 APP/PS1 1–10 months Odor sensitivity, spatial memory Decreased sensitivity at 3–4 months and deficient spatial memory at 9–10 months
Young et al. 2009 Tg2576 4–12 months Olfactory working memory Deficits as early as 4 months, worse with age
Deacon et al. 2009 Tg2576 Up to 23months Odor sensitivity, social memory Normal sensitivity, deficits in social memory
Guerin et al. 2009 Tg2576 6.5–8 months Odor detection, habituation, associative learning Normal detection and associative learning, impaired habituation due to short-term memory deficit
Wesson et al. 2010 Tg2576 3–29 months Odor habituation Habituation deficit at 3–4 months, increased investigation time at 16 months
Wesson et al. 2011 Tg2576 3 months+ Odor habituation Deficit at 6–7 months
