behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit a 219% increase of slips in the beam walking test
• however, mice do not show a deficit in the rotarod test
|
• in the continuous open field test, mice show an increase in activity level during the light phase but not dark phase indicating a rest-phase specific motor restlessness
• however, mice exhibit a similar level of total distance traveled in a 30 min open field test as controls and similar wheel running activity during both the light and dark phase as in controls
|
• sleep analysis indicates an increased probability of waking in the light phase but not dark phase
|
• mice exhibit lower sensitivity to the heat stimuli than controls in the tail-flick test, indicating decreased thermal sensory perception
|
nervous system
• mice exhibit thinner cortical layers in the posterior primary motor cortex
|
• mice exhibit thinner cortical layers in both the anterior and posterior part of the primary somatosensory cortex representing the hindlimb
