nervous system
• Background Sensitivity: within the first two generations of backcrossing to C57BL/6J, mice exhibit myoclonic seizures unlike wild-type mice
• however, after the second generation mice do not exhibit abnormal seizure activity
|
• the NMDAR:AMPAR excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) ratio is less than in wild-type mice
(J:145953)
• NMDAR EPSCs are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
(J:145953)
• however, AMPAR ESPCs are normal
(J:145953)
• severe deficit in kainate receptor (KAR) mediated EPSCs in mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal cell synapses
(J:174557)
• associational/commissural-CA3 pyramidal cell synapses exhibited reduced NMDA/AMPA EPSC ratios
(J:174557)
• however, NMDA/AMPA ratios in mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal cell synapses are similar to wild-type
(J:174557)
|
• KAR mediated EPSCs show faster decay kinetics
|
• theta burst long term potentiation (tbLTP) is reduced 50% compared to in wild-type mice
• treatment with Ro25-6981 decreases tbLTP by 60% unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, tbLTP is rescued by treatment with CX546
|
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit impaired hippocampal-dependent spatial learning compared to wild-type mice in a Morris water maze after platform relocation
• mice exhibit impaired learning in the delayed matching-to-place task and the displaced object task compared to wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal novel object recognition and restoration of spatial learning and memory following treatment with CX546

• Background Sensitivity: within the first two generations of backcrossing to C57BL/6J, mice exhibit myoclonic seizures unlike wild-type mice
• however, after the second generation mice do not exhibit abnormal seizure activity
