Introduction
The research project that I have conducted throughout my junior and senior year is entitled “The Effects of DMAB-Anabaseine on APPL Flies, a Model for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s”. This study was conducted to test the effect of DMAB-Anabaseine on APPL flies. These are flies that have been genetically mutated to develop early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). DMAB-Anabaseine is the chemical I used to determine if cognitive behavior could be restored in the APPL flies. The concentrations used to test the APPL and wild type flies were 1uM, 10uM, 100uM, and 200uM.
