nervous system
N |
• overall brain morphology is normal
|
• ribonucleic particle localization within dendrites as well as dendrite outgrowth and spine formation are impaired compared to in wild-type mice
• cultured neurons exhibit a reduced protrusion density of dendrites with the presence of more long, thin filopodia-like structures than in wild-type cells
• however, the number of primary dendrites is normal and functional synapses form

behavior/neurological
N |
• despite reduced activity in an open field test, mice do not exhibit increased anxiety related behaviors and hippocampus-dependent learning is intact
|
• in an open field test
