N normal phenotype
growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: growth lags behind controls during the 3rd and 4th weeks of life but parallels growth in controls at all other times

behavior/neurological
• nonepileptic forelimb clonic spasms and hyperextension of hindlimbs - paroxysmal dyskinesia
• retract hind feet and clench digits when suspended by the tail
• ataxic gait
• poor performance on both a ledge and a platform test
• poor performance on an accelerating rotarod test and no improvement with practice
• inferior ability to climb on an inclined screen
• inability to stay on in an inverted screen test
• widened stance
• slow to initiate movement although overall activity levels are normal
• shuffling footprint pattern

nervous system
• hyperactive response to cocaine, amphetamine, and specific dopamine receptor agonists is reduced
• impaired dopamine 2 receptor-mediated signalling
• both the striatonigral and striatopallial nerve pathways function abnormally although the striatopallial pathway is affected more

growth/size/body
• Background Sensitivity: growth of mice on a B6 background is normal through weaning although adult weight is 15% smaller than controls

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit impaired acquisition performance during place trials in both escape path length and latency to find the submerged platform
• mice also show impaired acquisition performance when they are restested in the water maze and required to learn another submerged platform location in the presence of different spatial cues
• increasing the memory load for the water navigation task results in performance deficits in mice that are not seen with less challenging memory demands
• however, mice exhibit normal conditioned fear and passive avoidance performance
• nonepileptic forelimb clonic spasms and hyperextension of hindlimbs - paroxysmal dyskinesia
• retract hind feet and clench digits when suspended by the tail
• ataxic gait (J:77806)
(J:134733)
• poor performance on both a ledge and a platform test
• poor performance on an accelerating rotarod test and no improvement with practice (J:77806)
• mice exhibit impaired performance on the platform and inverted screen and on the constant speed and accelerating rotarod (J:134733)
• inferior ability to climb on an inclined screen (J:77806)
• inability to stay on in an inverted screen test (J:77806)
• mice show reduced forelimb strength in gripping a bar (J:134733)
• widened stance
• slow to initiate movement although overall activity levels are normal
• shuffling footprint pattern
• mice are hyperactive, showing more ambulations than wild-type mice during a 1 hour test period

nervous system
• hyperactive response to cocaine, amphetamine, and specific dopamine receptor agonists is reduced
• impaired dopamine 2 receptor-mediated signalling
• both the striatonigral and striatopallial nerve pathways function abnormally although the striatopallial pathway is affected more
• mice exhibit impaired theta burst induced LTP
• however, mice show normal hippocampus, parahippocampal region and amygdala anatomy

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit grip weakness when tested on an inverted grid and show shortened ledge retention time compared to wild-type mice

nervous system
• most Purkinje neurons lack spontaneous and tonic firing
• however, individual action potential waveforms in Purkinje cells and evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in Purkinje neurons are similar to wild-type mice
• granule neuron excitability is impaired

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit increased activity when placed in a new environment
• severe
• mice fall off a grid when titled at a 45 degree angle and do not pull a rod with any measurable force when pulled backwards by their tails
• mice exhibit increased activity when disturbed or placed in a new environment

nervous system
• granule neuron excitability is more severely impaired than in Fgf14tm1Dor mice (1 firing compared to 2 in Fgf14tm1Dor mice)
• sodium channel inactivation parameters are altered in cerebellar granule neurons
