behavior/neurological
• reduced time in open arms of elevated plus maze and increased time in closed arms
• reduction in alternate arm choices in the Y-maze
|
• increased horizontal activity in open field test, vertical activity is similar to controls
• increased speeds on treadmill test, however, strength is not increased
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• elevated acetylcholine levels in all brain regions
• increased levels are not the result of changes in acetylcholinesterase or choline acetyltransferase activity
|
• increased mean endurance time on treadmill test as compared to wild-type
