Apolipoprotein E Antibodies Affect the Retention of Passive Avoidance Memory in the Chick

Isoforms of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) have been implicated as risk factors in Alzheimer’s disease. We have, therefore, examined the possible role of ApoE in memory formation, using a one-trial passive avoidance task in day-old chicks. Birds were trained on the task and then at various times pre or pos...
