behavior/neurological
• increased susceptibility to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)
|
• class 5 seizures induced after only two stimulations as opposed to 10-12 stimulations in controls
|
• occasional adults with spontaneous epileptic seizures
• by 15 weeks of age more than half of mice experienced seizures

nervous system
• increased susceptibility to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)
|
• class 5 seizures induced after only two stimulations as opposed to 10-12 stimulations in controls
|
• occasional adults with spontaneous epileptic seizures
• by 15 weeks of age more than half of mice experienced seizures
|
• fewer synaptic vesicles/unit area than in controls
|
• diameter of synaptic vesicles in inhibitory terminals is smaller
|
• electrocorticogram revealed all mice with an abnormal epileptic pattern
|
• increased long term potentiation in hippocampal CA1 using weak conditioning stimuli
|
• potassium evoked GABA release is impaired after 8 weeks of age
• amounts of vesicular GABA transporter significantly reduced in synaptosomal lysates
• impaired GABAergic inhibition in temporoammonic pathway between entorhinal cortex and CA1 pyramidal cells
