nervous system
• impaired cholinergic innervation into the frontal cortex at P7
• decrease in cholinergic fiber density and absence of a clear laminar pattern of innervation in the hippocampus at P14
• complete absence of cholinergic fibers in the hippocampus and only a small number of fibers in the frontal cortex at P90
|
behavior/neurological
• measurable decline in amygdala-dependent, but not hippocampal-dependent, cognitive performance
|
• significant decrease in recognition of a novel object
