behavior/neurological
• in a Morris water maze, standard housed and environmentally enriched mice fail to exhibit a preference for the target quadrant unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• in a Morris water maze, standard housed exhibit decreased frequency of crossing over the platform and increased latency compared with wild-type mice
|
• mice in standard housing exhibit decreased startle reflex compared with wild-type mice in standard housing
• environmental enrichment fails to decrease startle reflex as in similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, clozapine attenuates startle reflex as in wild-type mice
|
• mice in standard housing exhibit hyperactivity compared with wild-type mice in standard housing
• however, mice exposed to environmental enrichment exhibit normal activity levels
|
nervous system
• mice in standard housing exhibit decreased prepulse inhibition compared with wild-type mice in standard housing
• however, environmental enrichment or treatment with clozapine rescue prepulse inhibition deficit
