Herein, we summarized the different types of AD animal models based on the pathogenesis of AD, and concluded that there is a lack of full demonstration of the etiology and pathological changes of AD disease in animal models. We also summarized the current available medication treatments of AD. Aβ and Tau protein are still the research focus in the field of AD treatment. Chinese medicine also plays a certain role in the treatment of AD, and shows a good prospect.
