mortality/aging
N |
• viable for at least 1 year when fed a special mashed food diet
|
craniofacial
• shortened both anteriorly and posteriorly
|
• variable number of molars
• typically missing one or two of the molars either in the upper or lower jaw
|
• impaired
|
• significant reduction in length of almost all measures of the skull
|
behavior/neurological
• show shorter freezing time in a cued fear test compared to wild-type controls
• however, freezing time is similar in a context test and shock pain thresholds are similar to controls
|
• spend less time walking on a rotating rod on days 3 and 4 but not on days 1 and 2, suggesting a defect in learning
|
• do not show a preference for the target location in probe trials in a Morris water maze
• however, escape performance is similar to controls in the visible and the hidden platform tasks
|
• spend less time in the center of an open field
• however, no differences in time spent in the open arm are detected in an elevated plus maze
|
• impaired ability to selectively react to a spatial and novelty change in the environment showing no preference for a displaced or novel object
|
• at 115 dB, but not at 70-105 dB
|
• take longer to cross a balance beam and have an increased number of foot slips
|
• for both forelimb alone and the forelimb and hindlimb combined
|
• show increased distance traveled in an open field assay
|
• when given a choice between a social vs nonsocial object, homozygotes spend more time with the social object (mouse) compared to wild-type controls
• in a direct social investigation assay homozygotes spend more time in active social approaches compared to wild-type controls
• in a social dominance assay, homozygotes show dominance over wild-type mice in approximately 70% of matches
|
• spend more time with familiar vs non-familiar mouse unlike wild-type controls
|
• unable to distinguish between a familiar and non-familiar mouse
|
• in a female-female social reunion assay, homozygous females emit more ultrasonic vocalizations in both the first and second minute compared to wild-type controls
|
growth/size/body
• variable number of molars
• typically missing one or two of the molars either in the upper or lower jaw
|
• impaired
|
• significant reduction in length of almost all measures of the skull
|
• at P12
|
skeleton
• shortened both anteriorly and posteriorly
|
• variable number of molars
• typically missing one or two of the molars either in the upper or lower jaw
|
• impaired
