behavior/neurological
• in the T-maze left-right discrimination test, mice show reduced percentage of correct responses after directional reversal compared to controls, suggesting that mice exhibit increased persistence
• however, mice show normal memory in the T-maze forced-alternation test
|
• mice spend less time in the light chamber for the light-dark transition test, in the open arms for the elevated plus-maze test, and in the center of the open-field indicating increased anxiety
|
• mice show a lower acoustic startle response
|
• mice show reduced number of social contacts in the social-interaction test but an increase in the duration per contact, resulting in an increase in total contact time
• however, the total duration of active contacts such as sniffing and following behavior is reduced
• mice show a reduction in contact time between familiar and stranger mice in the sociability and social-novelty preference test
|
digestive/alimentary system
• mice have shorter intestine
|
• mice tend to show slower intestinal transit
|
growth/size/body
megacephaly
(
J:235128
)
• brain weight and volume are increased indicating macrocephaly
|
nervous system
• brain weight at E18.5 and in adulthood is increased
|
• expression analysis indicates a delay in neurodevelopment in fetal stages
|
• mice exhibit increased prepulse inhibition for 74- or 78-dB prepulses before a 120-dB startle stimulus
