Abstract:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the neurodegenerative diseases with brain atrophy, extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Animal disease models are an indispensible part in the evaluation of potential therapeutics. This review summarized current animal models of AD. A thorough and critical evaluation of current models of AD, and a discussion about their roles in drug discovery and development were included as well.
