This is a protocol to mimic Alzheimer's Disease in rats by evaluation of spatial memory impairment, neuronal pathological changes, neuronal amyloid beta protein (Aβ) burden, and neurofibrillary tangles aggregation, induced by the injection of Aβ25-35 combined with aluminum trichloride and recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1.
