behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit increased exploratory behavior in both the open field and elevated plus maze
• compulsive grooming in symptomatic mice
• presymptomatic mice show a trend towards excessive grooming
• mice are hyperactive in both the open field and elevated plus maze
• treatment with an acute intraperitoneal injection of a low dose of haloperidol reverses the hyperactivity but does not alter the thigmotaxis in the open field maze
• mice exhibit trichotillomania

integument
• aged mice exhibit extensive bald patches localized to the nape of the neck and upper back
• bald patches progress to full lesions with 100% penetrance by 9 months of age
• lesions are self-inflicted and not caused by social grooming
• lesions are not responsive to topical antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, or antihistamine treatment and mice do not exhibit a difference in response to histamine injection compared to controls

nervous system
• thinner myelin sheaths in the optic nerve, indicating hypomyelination in the optic nerve
• however, myelination in the spinal cord and sciatic nerve is normal
• hypomyelination in the optic nerve
• mice are less sensitive to the prepulse and thus show reduced inhibition
