behavior/neurological
• in the elevated plus-maze, mutants make more open and center entries and have more center time but less closed time, than wild-type mice
• lithium treatment partially rescues the elevated maze test phenotype, with mutants making fewer open entries compared to untreated mutants
• in the light/dark emergence test, mutants make more shelter exits and show more frequent scanning of the shelter than wild-type, although they do not spend more time out of the shelter than wild-type mice, indicating an increase in risk assessment
• in repeated exposure to elevated plus-maze, mutants make more open entries than wild-type, regardless of trial, and exhibit more open time; mutants make more closed arm entries on trial 2 but not trial 1
• all these behaviors are indicative of manic-like phenotype
