mortality/aging
• mice die at 3 to 4 weeks
|
nervous system
• decreased
|
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit a delay in the maturation of the righting reflex compared to in wild-type mice
|
• unlike wild-type mice, isolated pups fail to produce high ultrasonic vocalization due to reduced arousal in isolation
• however, when newborns are raised above the ground they emit the normal range of vocalizations
• mice emit more clicks than wild-type mice when under distress
• interspersed ultrasound vocalizations have a lower sound pressure level and shorter duration than in wild-type mice
