Aβ-GFP Tg mice exhibit the memory impairment both in young (3 months) and aged (18 months) mice. (A–C): Exploratory behavior in the open-field was measured in 18- month-old by locomotor activities (A,B) and the total number of rearings (C) over 10 min. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. (n = 11 each). There were no impairments in the OFT, indicating that exploratory behavior and locomotor activity were intact in aged Aβ-GFP Tg mice.(D,E): Apparatuses and the objects used for the NORT (D) and schematic representation of sample and test phase conditions in the NORT (E). (F,G): Impairment of object recognition memory in young (2–3 months) (F) and aged (18 months) (G) Aβ-GFP Tg mice. Dotted lines indicate chance performance (0.5). Data are presented as means ± SEM. #p < 0.05; unpaired t-test to evaluate difference between Aβ-GFP Tg and non-Tg mice, ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, * p < 0.05; one-sample t-test for the PI compared with chance performance (test value = 0.5).
