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
• mutants exhibit a decrease in immobility compared to wild-type during the first and sometimes second forced swim trials
• mutants, but not wild-type mice, exhibit a significant increase in immobility by the third forced swim trial, as compared to trial 1
• mutants show less immobility and increased swimming, but no difference in climbing, in a modified forced swim test compared to wild-type mice on trial 1 but not trial 2
• mutants, but not wild-type mice, exhibit an increase in immobility and a decrease in swimming from trial 1 to 2 of the modified forced swim test
• all these behaviors are indicative of manic-like phenotype
|
• mutants travel farther than wild-type mice in a novel open field
• however, movement in a home cage-like environment is no different from wild-type
|
• in a novel open field
|
• injection stress produces a transient increase in activity in mutants compared to a decrease in locomotor activity in wild-type mice
• restraint stress produces a greater increase in locomotor activity in mutants than in wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• corticosterone levels are similar in mutants as in wild-type after a single forced swim trial
