behavior/neurological
N |
• mice show no signs of hyperactivity
|
• seizures are less severe and occur at longer latencies compared to transgenic mice with wild-type Mapt
|
• in the hidden platform version of the Morris water maze, non-trangenic controls, regardless of Mapt genotype learn the task over 3 days, whereas transgenic mice heterozygous for Mapttm1Hnd show show impaired learning compared to controls but less impairment than transgenic mice with normal Mapt expression
• in probe trials where the platform is removed, mice show delayed learning, compared to non transgenic controls or transgenic mice with wild-type Mapt, with more target than non-target crossings after 5 days of training

nervous system
• seizures are less severe and occur at longer latencies compared to transgenic mice with wild-type Mapt
|
• at 4-7 months and 14-18 months, Abeta plaque deposition is observed, at levels the same as other transgenics null or wild-type for Mapt
|
• mice show neuritic dystrophy around amyloid plaques
|
• aberrant sprouting of hippocampal axons is observed in transgenic mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• at 4-7 months and 14-18 months, Abeta plaque deposition is observed, at levels the same as other transgenics null or wild-type for Mapt
