Neurobiology of Cognitive Decline Design Neurobehavioral tests for Learning, memory and anxiety for Rats and mice (Open field test- Morris water Maze test-Forced swimming test- Beam walking test- Elevate plus Maze Test). To Identify and to analyze Neuronal Alteration in regard to the degree of cognitive decline and cholinergic lesions in rats and mice (in different brain regions as Cortex, Striatum and Hippocampus). To develop the specificity of early, original biomarkers of cognitive decline using Genomic and proteomic approaches.
