behavior/neurological
• adult mice injected with tamoxifen at P7 show deficits in spatial working memory in a working memory test (delayed nonmatched to place task, DNMTP) compared to adult controls (wild-type and vehicle-treated transgenic animals)
• with tamoxifen injection at adulthood (6 hours prior to testing), transgenic mice show no difference from adult wild-type
|
• in forced-swim test, adult mice treated with tamoxifen at P7 display depressive-like behavior as demonstrated by shorter latencies between floating episodes than those of control mice
• with tamoxifen injection at adulthood (6 hours prior to testing), transgenic mice show no difference from adult controls
|
• in a social choice paradigm, adult mice treated with tamoxifen at P7 spend significantly more time in empty chamber away from stimulus mouse than in stimulus mouse chamber compared to controls
• with tamoxifen injection at adulthood (6 hours prior to testing), transgenic mice show no difference from adult controls
|
nervous system
• reduced dendritic complexity in adult mice treated with tamoxifen at P7
|
• numbers of branch points and intersections in hippocampal neurons in adult mice treated with tamoxifen at P7 are reduced compared to controls;
|
• adult mice treated with tamoxifen at P7 show reduced hippocampal synaptic input/output function compared to controls
• paired pulse facilitation and long term potentiation in mice treated at P7 are both normal indicating that presynaptic function and LTP are unaffected by transgenic protein expression
