behavior/neurological
N
• neither cued nor contextual fear conditioning are different from controls
• animals exhibit significantly more locomoter activity than controls in open field test

nervous system
• significantly increased compared to controls (EPSC amplitude 322% vs 157%)
• animals display deficit in PPI; reductions in PPI are more pronounced at lower prepulse sound levels than in controls
• responses are similar to Erbb4-/- mice
