|
|
nervous system
|
• increased vulnerability to AMPA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity
• abolished AMPA receptor-mediated cell death in cultured motor neurons by the external polyamine 1-naphtyl acetyl spermine (NAS)
|
|
• high degree of inhibition by the external NAS, a strong inward rectification and a high relative Ca2+ permeability
• higher elevations of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration upon AMPA receptor stimulation
• normal number of AMPA receptors in the cell membrane
|
behavior/neurological
|
• reduced object exploration
|
|
• unable to walk on a rotarod
|
|
• slightly lower grip strength in fore limbs
|
|
• abnormal posturing of both forelimbs and hind limbs during manipulations
|
|
• reduced spontaneous activity during the night

|
mortality/aging
|
• by 2 - 3 weeks of age about 20% of homozygotes die
|
behavior/neurological
|
• object exploration is reduced
|
|
• impaired eye closure reflex to approaching objects
|
|
• impaired coordination on rotorod test; however no signs of seizure activity were detected by observation, EEG, or post-mortem pyramidal cell dropout in the hippocampus
|
nervous system
|
• LTP in CA1 region of the hippocampus is enhanced 2-fold and non-saturating
|
growth/size/body
|
• body size is reduced at 2 - 3 weeks of age; however by 6 - 7 weeks, surviving homozygotes were the same size as littermates
|
|
• body weight is reduced at 2 - 3 weeks of age; however by 6 - 7 weeks, surviving homozygotes were the same weight as littermates
