nervous system
• MAP2+ CA1 pyramidal cells are shrunken but not due to abnormal Tau expression
• mice have fewer growth cones in the dendritic layer of CA1
• however, pyramidale and stratum oriens layers are normal
• dendrites and dendritic spine are poorly formed
• however, axon formation is normal
|
• mice are impaired in long term potentiation induction and maintenance
• however, paired pulse facilitation of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials are normal
|
behavior/neurological
• longer mean daily escape latencies even after training
• however, no visual or spontaneous locomotor activity deficits are observed
• mice spend less time in target quadrants and more time in non-target quadrants than control mice
