APP23 mice show impaired spatial learning, which is moderately improved by chia seeds, especially with age. APP23 mice show deteriorated reversal learning, which is improved by SRD. (a,b) Mean distance per day covered by PRE (a) and ADV mice (b) during acquisition phase (day 1–3) and reversal learning phase (day 4–5) in the MWM. Letters indicate significant factors (t = time, d = diet, g = genotype, combination of letters = interaction of two or three factors) regardless of significance level (p < 0.05), according to nonparametric repeated measures ANOVA-type test statistic. (cf) Mean distance covered in the MWM by PRE (c, e) and ADV mice (d, f) on day 3, the last day of the acquisition phase, and day 5, the last day of the reversal learning phase, respectively. Each box represents the 25th to 75th percentile, the line represents the median, whiskers reach from minimum to maximum. An asterisk indicates significant differences between groups regardless of significance level (p < 0.05), according to nonparametric multiple contrast Tukey-type test. WT wild type control, APP23 transgenic mouse model, PRE pre-plaque stage, ADV advanced-plaque stage, CD control, SRD sucrose-rich, Chia chia seed supplementation.
