behavior/neurological
N |
• mice show similar locomotor activity in the open field and elevated plus maze as controls, perform similarly to controls in the Y maze and in the Morris water maze indicating normal short-term spatial memory and acquisition learning and reference memory, respectively, and show a non-significant trend towards decreased anxiety
|
• in the Morris water maze reversal learning test, mice show reduced latency to find the platform and spend more time in the probe quadrant and turn significantly more acutely towards the probe quadrant indicating enhanced memory formation and cognitive flexibility to re-learn
|
growth/size/body
• adult mice weigh slightly less than controls
|
nervous system
N |
• neuroanatomy of the brain appears normal at E16.5 and neurogenesis and overall brain development appears unaffected
• neuroanatomy of the mature brain appears normal
