behavior/neurological
N |
• hippocampal-dependent behavior is normal in spatial learning, Morris water maze, and radial-maze tests
|
• mice fail to exhibit as much success learning to avoid the electric shock compared with wild-type mice
|
• in a one-trial inhibitory avoidance, mice forget to avoid the dark chamber after 24 hours unlike wild-type mice
|
• in fear conditioning tests, mice exhibit diminished long-term memory compared with wild-type mice
• however, short-term memory is normal
|
nervous system
N |
• brain morphology is normal
|
• long-lasting plasticity is absent
|
• larger than in wild-type mice in the amygdala and CA1 hippocampus
|
• following delivery of 3 trains of stimulation of 10-burst theta frequency, mice fail to exhibit enhancement of LTP unlike wild-type mice
