behavior/neurological
N |
• mice exhibit normal memory acquisition and short term memory in contextual fear conditioning
• mice exhibit normal memory extinction, general activity and emotional performance
|
• after 24 hours, reactivation of contextual freeze response with 1 minute of training is attenuated compared to in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit faster within-session freezing decrement compared with wild-type mice
• however, omission of re-exposure restores reactivation
|
• memory consolidation is impaired compared to in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit impaired memory retention compared with wild-type mice
• reactivation memory becomes labile unlike in wild-type mice
• however, intense training rescues memory retention
|
• mice exhibit lower sensitivity to foot shock compared with wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• in the hippocampus CA1 region, mice exhibit a mildly rough and sparse dendritic layer that is worsened by maximum electroconvulsive shock (MECS) treatment compared with wild-type mice
