behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit enhanced fear memory compared with wild-type mice
|
• in an elevated plus maze, mice spend less time on the open arms and more time in the closed arms compared with wild-type mice
|
• following repeated treatment with MK-801
|
nervous system
• the hippocampus contains 30% fewer proliferating cells than in wild-type mice
|
• the dentate gyrus contains fewer astrocytes, neural stem cells, and early and late progenitor cells compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the amplitude of NMDA-mediated current induced by DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are lower than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• prepulse inhibition and latency are decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• brain docosahexaenoic acid levels are decreased 4% compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the amplitude of NMDA-mediated current induced by DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are lower than in similarly treated wild-type mice
