Decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) containing neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) of Prkntm1Tmd/Prkntm1Tmd mice

behavior/neurological
• the acoustic startle reflex is significantly decreased

nervous system
• a reduction in dopamine neuron number is seen in the locus coeruleus by 2 months of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• norepinephrine levels are reduced in the locus coeruleus, olfactory bulb, and spinal cord but not in the cerebral cortex, brainstem, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, diencephalon, and cerebellum of homozygous mutants compared to wild-type mice
