• about a 75% reduction in uptake of L-proline in the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, and thalamus
• however, no signs of neurotoxicity are seen

behavior/neurological
N |
• performance on a rotarod is similar to wild-type controls
• no alteration in immobility time in a tail-suspension test or forced swim test
|
• enter and move less in the central area of an open field
• however, no change is observed in a startle-reactivity test suggesting the mice do not display increased anxiety
|
• impaired memory extinction in the Morris water maze when the hidden platform is moved after training
• however, no defect is seen in the initial learning acquisition
|
• show reduced responsiveness to a novel object with decreases in total distance traveled, number of approaches to the object, and time spent in the central quadrant
|
• decreased motility in an open field assay
• show reduced mobility in an elevated zero maze but no change in number of entries or time spent in the open area
