behavior/neurological
• mutants exhibit reduced sensitivity to the motor stimulant effect of amphetamine and phencyclidine compared to control mice; the effect of amphetamine is delayed in the mutant while the response to phencyclidine is strongly attenuated compared to control
|
• mutant mice show enhanced acquisition of active avoidance with an augmented latent inhibition effect in the testing paradigm used
|
• mutants show enhanced expression of conditioned taste-aversion with an augmented latent inhibition effect in the testing paradigm used
|
• mutants exhibit and ehanced expression of conditioned tone-freezing with an augemented latent inhibition effect in the testing paradigm used
|
• augmented latent inhibition in conditioned freezing, conditioned active avoidance, and conditioned taste aversion tests
|
nervous system
• in conditional mutants at P21-30, a 2.15-fold enhancement of the NMDA/AMPA response ratio compared to control is measured in brain slices
