behavior/neurological
• beginning at P9, pups exhibit an unstable gait that deteriorates progressively
• as early as P12, pups develop spontaneous generalized tonic-clonic seizures that last from 1 to 3 min

growth/size/body
• by P15, mice show lower body weight than wild-type mice

nervous system
• as early as P12, pups develop spontaneous generalized tonic-clonic seizures that last from 1 to 3 min

• Background Sensitivity: 46.2% of mice die by postnatal week 4 on a mixed 129 and C57BL/6JNarl background compared to only 5.4% on a 129 background
• mice that have severe seizure attacks die at the average age of P21.9

behavior/neurological
• the threshold temperatures for hyperthermia-induced seizures are lower than in wild-type mice at postnatal week 3-5 and postnatal week 16-20, indicating increased susceptibility to hyperthermia-induced seizures
• spontaneous epileptiform activity begins as early as P20, with mice showing generalized tonic-clonic seizures
• 44.8% of mice exhibit spontaneous seizures at P20 to P25
• average seizure duration is about 45.8 seconds and the mean latency from first seizure to death is 13.9 hours

nervous system
• the threshold temperatures for hyperthermia-induced seizures are lower than in wild-type mice at postnatal week 3-5 and postnatal week 16-20, indicating increased susceptibility to hyperthermia-induced seizures
• spontaneous epileptiform activity begins as early as P20, with mice showing generalized tonic-clonic seizures
• 44.8% of mice exhibit spontaneous seizures at P20 to P25
• average seizure duration is about 45.8 seconds and the mean latency from first seizure to death is 13.9 hours
• dentate gyrus granule cells exhibit abnormal dendritic arborization at postnatal week 4, with a reduction in the number of dendritic segments and the total dendritic length
• dentate gyrus granule cells exhibit abnormal dendritic arborization at postnatal week 4, with a reduction in the number of dendritic segments and the total dendritic length
• dendritic spines in dentate gyrus neurons do not undergo normal pruning during postnatal week 3 to week 4, leaving spine density unchanged
• mice exhibit elevation in basal excitatory transmission in dente gyrate
• in dentate gyrus granule cells, the frequency of spontaneous EPSC is increased
• however, sEPSC amplitude is normal
• mEPSCs show a higher frequency in dentate gyrus granule cells in the presence of the sodium channel blocker TTX, however mEPSC amplitude is similar to controls
• in dentate gyrus granule cells, the frequency of sIPSCs is reduced
• however, sIPSC amplitude is normal
• synaptic response of brief paired stimuli with 50 ms intervals indicates a lower paired-pulse ratio than in controls suggesting elevated release probability of excitatory terminals in granule cells
