Old Data, New Results

'To date, no single animal model has exhibited both neuropathological and behavioral symptoms characterizing human AD.'

The rats used the study were new, transgenic rats, with human Alzheimer's genes inserted and being expressed, as shown by cognitive deficits and the amalyoid deposits.

Yes, the transgenic McGill rats are a perfect animal model upon which to test the human validity of A2-73.

(If they were not, none of the researchers or funders of the study would have published it. It would have been invalid. Neurology researchers know the subject well. Transgenic rats are perfect test specimens. Extrapolated data from them will apply accurately to humans.)
