behavior/neurological
• latency to fall on the rotarod test is lower across all days, indicating poor balance
• however, mice show similar motor learning as wild-type mice on the accelerating rotarod test
• males, but not females, exhibit increases in social motivation, with males showing greater variability in the preference for social novelty part of the three-chamber task, and a greater preference for the social target over non-social target in the amount of time spent in close proximity to the target
• however, mice show normal learning and recognition memory in the three chambered test and in a novel object recognition task, normal exploratory behavior in the open field, indicating no differences in anxiety-like behavior, and no differences in the heat-based tail-flick test indicating normal sensory perception

cellular
• mice exhibit increased proliferation in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus at P40
• hyperproliferation of the polydendrocyte (NG2) population within the cortex

growth/size/body
• males, but not females, are smaller at P40

nervous system
• microglia in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus show thicker and enlarged cell bodies, indicating microglial activation
• megalencephaly
• cerebrum is larger in both males and females
• however, the hippocampus is not enlarged
• dentate gyrus granule cells exhibit a 10% increase in soma size
• however, cerebellar granule cells exhibit normal soma size and normal number of cell processes
• pyramidal cells of hippocampus exhibit a 23% increase in soma size
• however, dendrites of CA1 pyrmaidal cell neurons are normal
• pyramidal cells of the cortex a 26% increase in soma size
• increase in the number of astrocytes at P40
• mice exhibit increased GFAP-staining throughout the cortex, indicating astrogliosis
• increase in the number of oligodendrocytes at P40

immune system
• microglia in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus show thicker and enlarged cell bodies, indicating microglial activation

hematopoietic system
• microglia in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus show thicker and enlarged cell bodies, indicating microglial activation
