behavior/neurological
• mice show reduced freezing in the contextual fear conditioning tests
• mice treated subchronically with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid show rescue of memory-associated freezing in the contextual and cued tests
• mice show reduced freezing in the cued fear conditioning test
• mice treated subchronically with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid show rescue of memory-associated freezing in the contextual and cued tests
• in the Morris water maze, mice fail to show selectivity for the target quadrant, spending less time there than wild-type mice and crossing the platform zone fewer times
• mice have a deficit in the 24 hour object location memory indicating impaired spatial memory
• mice groom themselves more than wild-type mice
• mice exhibit enhanced startle reflex to unexpected 120 dB sound bursts
• mice exhibit asymmetry in their motor control and an imbalance that favors their left size
• however, mice show no differences on the rotating rod or in walking across a horizontal ladder
• mice show weaker hindlimb, but not forelimb, grip strength
• mice favor their front left paw while ambulating across a catwalk
• dynamic weight bearing analysis indicates that mice place more weight on their front left paw than their right paw
• mice show increased activity in the open field and in the elevated plus maze, where mice show an increase in overall arm entrances
• however, mice do not show an increase in anxiety in the open field or elevated plus maze
• mice prefer social isolation over interaction with a novel mouse in the three-chamber social test
• pups have reduced ultrasonic vocalization when removed from the nest, which remains low until the phenotype converges with normal behavior or wild-type controls around P7
• P3 pups have weaker calls
• P3 pups have less frequent ultrasonic distress calls and at lower volumes

nervous system
• mice exhibit enhanced Schaffer collateral long-term potentiation when activated with theta burst stimulation
• hippocampal CA1 area treated with the HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A before theta burst stimulation normalizes the LTP
• mice have deficits in prepulse inhibition

growth/size/body

behavior/neurological
• mice show a similar level of activity at the outset of the task as controls, but the level of activity appears to wane more slowly, indicating a possible deficit in habituation to novel environments
• mice take a longer time to locate the hidden platform in the Morris water maze task and travel farther during the acquisition phase than controls
• during the reversal phase of the hidden platform test, mice never meet the criterion for learning across the entire regimen, and they travel farther than controls
• mice spend more time in the center region of the novel open field during the last 20 min of the trial, indicating reduced anxiety
• in the elevated plus maze task, mice spend more time in the open arms and make more entries into the open arm than closed arm, indicating reduced anxiety
• mice exhibit a reduced startle to a 74 dB stimulus at both 12 and 19 weeks of age
• mice exhibit increased activity and total distance traveled in the open field task
• however, mice exhibit normal motor coordination in the accelerating rotarod and normal sociability in the three-chamber task

nervous system
• NMDA/AMPA current ratio is enhanced and because AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission appears intact, this suggests that NMDAR-mediated currents are selectively enhanced
• mice exhibit enhanced long term potentiation (LTP) after 3 1 second bursts of 100 Hz stimulation and LTP is consistently enhanced over a range of stimulation frequencies
• however, no differences are seen in long term depression (LTD) after 15 min of 1 Hz stimulation, presynaptic function and AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission appear normal in hippocampal area CA1, and short-term plasticity in terms of the paired-pulse ratio appears normal
• percentage prepulse inhibition is decreased in 19 week old mice but not 12-week old mice
