mortality/aging
• only about 8% of mice survive past P0
|
behavior/neurological
• at P0 a decrease in the number of rhythmic mouth suckling movements in response to stimulation with a feeding needle is seen
• lack of milk in the stomach at P0
|
• increased spontaneous locomotion at P15-P21
|
• interact less frequently with their littermates than control animals
|
• in a social approach assay mice spend less time exploring the bottle containing the mouse
|
growth/size/body
• at P12-P16 but not at P0
|
nervous system
• significant increase in mean mEPSC amplitudes
|
• NMDA evoked currents in neurons are insensitive to ifenprodil and are more sensitive to zinc ions
• significantly faster decay times
