Year: 2017
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Family dog is an interesting model in research on Alzheimer’s disease, the main cause of dementia in Humans. The recent guidelines published about the diagnosis in human medicine define a pre-dementia phase, the mild-cognitive impairment (MCI), with clinical and molecular features closer from the canine counter-part of Alzheimer disease. Questionnaires have been set up in order to detect dogs with pathological aging and distinguish them from dogs with normal aging while being specific of a neurodegenerative process. The bibliographic work carried out in this study gives an update on cerebral aging in man as well as in the dog. Then, the current data on Alzheimer's disease and the Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome allows to analyze and present the limits of questionnaires already established in the scientific literature.
