taste/olfaction
• in the odor detection test, mutants require a higher concentration of odor to detect it, indicating impaired odor detection
• the odor detection impairment is age-dependent, with normal detection at 3 months but impaired at 11 and 18 months of age
• treatment of 10-11 month old mutants with rasagiline improves olfaction, including odor detection
• olfactory bulb neurogenesis appears normal
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mutants exhibit similar activity and motor ability as wild-type mice
|
• mutants show impaired recollection of an odor after an inter-trial interval of 120 seconds but not 60 or 90 seconds, spending more time sniffing the novel odor than controls, indicating a short-term olfactory memory deficit
• this short-term olfactory memory impairment progressively increases with age
• treatment of 10-11 month old mutants with rasagiline has no effect on the short-term olfactory memory deficit
|
• mutants show impaired odor discrimination in the social odor and non-social odor discrimination tests, however mutants spend a similar time exploring a novel item as wild-type mice indicating visual discrimination between novel and familiar items
• the non-social odor discrimination deficit is age-dependent
• treatment of 10-11 month old mutants with rasagiline improves olfaction, including odor discrimination
