nervous system
• the ratio of NMDAR- to AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• reduced in amplitude and frequency
|
• the interevent intervals of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents is longer than in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased prepulse inhibition for prepulse intensities of 8 or 12 dBa compared with wild-type mice
• however, baseline accoustic startle is normal
|
behavior/neurological
• in test 1 but not subsequent tests
|
• mice fail to exhibit a decline in the number of social interactions towards the repeatedly introduced stimulus mouse and also fail to show an increase in social investigation towards the novel stimulus mouse unlike wild-type mice
• however, olfactory responsiveness is normal
