behavior/neurological
• 2 month old mice show increased immobility in the forced swim test and in the tail suspension test
• mice treated with imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, show increased mobility in the forced swim test and the tail suspension test
|
• mice exhibit lower preference to 1% sucrose solution than controls, indicating anhedonia
|
• mice perform better on the rotarod most likely due to smaller body size
|
cellular
• a decrease in proliferating cells is seen in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, indicating a decrease in postnatal neurogenesis
|
growth/size/body
• mild decrease in body weight during postnatal life, however by 4 months of age, weight is similar to controls
|
nervous system
• a decrease in proliferating cells is seen in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, indicating a decrease in postnatal neurogenesis
