Motor impairment in Alzheimer's disease and transgenic Alzheimer's disease mouse models

Genes Brain Behav. 2008 Feb:7 Suppl 1:1-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1601-183X.2007.00373.x.

Abstract

In this commentary, we accent the accumulating evidence for motor impairment as a common feature of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. In addition, we summarize the state of knowledge on this phenotype in experimental mouse models, expressing AD-associated genes like tau or amyloid precursor protein.
