• mature granule cells develop a shortened apical dendritic arbor compared to wild-type mice, indicating excessive pruning of dendrites compared to controls

• mature granule cells develop a shortened apical dendritic arbor compared to wild-type mice, indicating excessive pruning of dendrites compared to controls
|
• the decrease in hippocampal medial perforant path (MPP) release probability (presynaptic function) with maturation that normally happens in wild-type mice is amplified in mutants
|
• amplitude of AMPA receptor-mediated and NMDA receptor-mediated EPSCs, and the frequency of miniature EPSCs are lower in brain slices from mutants than controls

• the frequency of miniature EPSCs are lower in brain slices from mutants than controls
|
• glutamatergic synapses show persistent facilitation and a larger augmentation with repeated stimulation compared to wild-type mice which show neither facilitation nor depression and moderate augmentation
