behavior/neurological
• mice show a slight but significant decrease in sucrose preference
|
• although mice show slightly higher freezing level before conditioning, mice show robust freezing behavior in postconditioning test as in wild-type mice
• however, mice show no differences in the open-field test, in social behavior, or in short-term memory during the Y-maze
|
nervous system
• K+-induced vesicle exocytosis in cortical and striatal neurons from newborns that were cultured in vitro for 18 days is reduced, indicating impaired presynaptic exocytosis
|
• dendritic tree complexity of deep layer pyramidal neurons and medium spiny neurons is decreased in the prefrontal cortex and striatum, respectively
|
• spine density is decreased in prefrontal cortex and striatum neurons
|
• prepulse inhibition is reduced, indicating an impairment of sensorimotor gating
• although mice show a slightly larger startle response, it is not statistically significant
|
cellular
