• normal speed in light-dark test in males
|
• fewer open arm entries in elevated zero-maze (EZM) test
• fewer center square entries and less time spent there in open field test (OFT)
• fewer light compartment entries and less time spent there in light-dark test in males
• longer latency to feed in novelty-suppressed feeding (NSF) test in males

nervous system
N |
• normal Na+ and K+ currents in basolateral amygdaloid nucleus (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurons
• normal medium after-hyperpolarization (mAHP) potential in basolateral amygdaloid nucleus (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurons
|
• lower current density of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotidegated (HCN) channels in BLA pyramidal neurons
• slower activation kinetics in BLA pyramidal neurons
• normal membrane capacitance in basolateral amygdaloid nucleus (BLA) pyramidal neurons
• higher input resistance and membrane time constant in basolateral amygdaloid nucleus (BLA) pyramidal neurons in males
• BLA pyramidal neurons are more sensitive to depolarizing current injections and are more excitable in males
• smaller voltage drop in response to hyperpolarizing current injection in BLA pyramidal neurons in males
• lower hyperpolarizing current amplitude in BLA pyramidal neurons in males

growth/size/body
N |
• normal body and organ weights
