The aim of this project was to categorize anxiety, social, and cognitive behaviors in transgenic (Tg) Alzheimer Disease (AD) zebrafish to validate them as a viable model for AD. This was accomplished via light-dark, sociality, and novel object recognition tests that measured each behavior respectively. Anxiety and sociality behaviors in Tg fish deviated from predictions, while cognitive behaviors were consistent with predictions. These results create a foundation for future research involving these specific Tg fish.
