We introduce the Cognitive Assessment for Neuropsychological Impairments in Dogs (CANID), a functional evaluation consisting of three cognitive tasks that measure aspects of memory and executive function. CANID can be implemented in a single ~40-min evaluation, was designed for studies of cognitive aging in community...

A hallmark of chromosomal inversions is that they suppress recombination between haplotypes, allowing inversion haplotypes to persist as single co-inherited units. To determine the extent to which inversions nevertheless permit genetic exchange, we investigated a common 979-kb inversion polymorphism at the human 17q21....

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than 55 million people worldwide and is characterized by cognitive decline, amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles. Although transgenic rodent models have advanced understanding of AD, they do not fully replicate the spo...
