Article Description

The brain of a rhesus monkey that died at 43 years of age with symptoms of suspected cognitive dysfunction was analyzed. pathological analyses revealed characteristic Alzheimer’s disease-related lesions: the aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) in the form of senile plaques and phosphorylated tau proteins. We also revealed that Aβ43, which is prone to aggregation and toxicity in humans, is involved in senile plaques in the brain of the rhesus monkey, as well as several other Aβ species. Comparative studies of neuropathology using aged nonhuman primates lack behavioral descriptions compared to human medicine. This case report showed behavioral abnormalities and the detailed pathological changes that may have caused it in a super-aged rhesus monkey.
