[ES]Se describe un animal no humano útil como modelo experimental de enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Este modelo animal presenta una alteración de la actividad biológica del receptor del factor trófico IGF-I localizada en las células del epitelio del plexo coro ideo de los ventrículos cerebrales. Dicho modelo animal puede obtenerse mediante un proceso de transgénesis. Este modelo animal es útil para el estudio de los mecanismos etiopatogénicos de enfermedades neurodegenerativas, entre ellas las que cursan con demencia, tal como la enfermedad de Alzheimer, o para la identificación y evaluación de compuestos terapéuticos frente a dichas enfermedades.
[EN]The invention relates to a non-human animal which can be used as an experimental neurodegenerative disease model. The inventive animal model has an alteration in the biological activity of the receptor of trophic factor IGF-I in the cells of the epithelium of the choroid plexus of the cerebral ventricles. The animal model can be obtained using a transgenesis process. Said animal model can be used to study the etiopathogenic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, including those associated with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, or to identify and assess therapeutic compounds intended to combat said diseases.
