behavior/neurological
• mutants do not use a spatially biased search strategy to locate the hidden platform in the Morris water maze, spending equal lengths of time in each quadrant and making equivalent number of crossings for each quadrant
|
• impaired startle response
|
• mutants have a tendency to spend less time on the rotating rod than wild-type, suggesting a mild coordination impairment
|
nervous system
• mutants exhibit enhancement of LTP during the last 30 min of posttetanus
|
• decrease in levels of prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response test
