MAPT and Alzheimer disease: Experimental studies have also shown that BaP exposure in animals induces some AD-like behavior/pathological changes, such as deficits in short-term memory in C57BL/6 J mice [11], accumulation of Aβ42 and neurodegeneration in adult Zebrafish [12], Aβ-related mRNA levels change [13], or tau hyperphosphorylation in SD rats [14].
