behavior/neurological
• mice show severe contextual fear learning deficits relative to control littermates, as revealed by a marked reduction in elicited freezing behavior
• in the hidden version of the Morris water maze, mice search equally in all four quadrants with no clear preference for the target quadrant during the probe trial, and show a significant reduction in their latency time to reach the hidden platform at day 3, but not at the initial or final (day 5) training days relative to control littermates
• however, no significant differences in thigmotaxis, swim speed, or path length are observed
