behavior/neurological
• both males and females show reduced activity in the first 10 min of the open field arena indicating decreased activity in a novel environment
• females exhibit a reduced retention time on the accelerating rotarod, while males are unaffected
• however, mice do not show a difference in learning rate on the rotarod
• females, but not males, show reduced forepaw grip strength
• females exhibit abnormal gait with reduced stride length and increased paw angle variability while males only show increased paw angle variability
• females show reduced stride length
• mice exhibit reduced activity in the open field arena, with both males and females showing reduced activity in the first 10 minutes (novel environment), and females, but not males, showing reduced activity in the next 10-30 min designated as sustained activity
• both males and females show reduced total activity

mortality/aging
• mice that survive to weaning exhibit lethality starting at around 80 days with about 50% dying by 25 weeks of age
• the 50% that survive to 25 weeks show little further premature lethality
• Background Sensitivity: premature lethality occurs after E18.5 but before 2 weeks of age on the C57BL/6J background but not on a 129S1/SvImJ background

behavior/neurological
• Background Sensitivity: mice exhibit faster sensitization to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling than controls on the C57BL/6J background but not on a 129S1/SvImJ background

nervous system
• Background Sensitivity: mice exhibit faster sensitization to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling than controls on the C57BL/6J background but not on a 129S1/SvImJ background
• 24-week old female mice exhibit elevated frequency of interictal epileptiform discharges, which occur more frequently during sleep than during wakefulness
• interictal epileptiform discharges frequently occur in runs of 1-3 Hz, but none meet criteria for seizures due to the short duration of discharges of less than 10 seconds

behavior/neurological
N
• mice exhibit no overt postural or movement abnormalities or seizures under normal housing conditions
• mice do not show increased susceptibility to PTZ kindling-induced seizures
• females, but not males, show increased activity in the first 10 minutes (novelty period) in the open field arena
• mice display reduced time in the center of the open field arena, possibly indicating anxiety-like behavior
• males show a modestly reduced stride length
• however, no difference in paw angle variability is seen in either males or females
• mice show increased activity in the open field arena in the sustained activity period
• however, mice show no differences on the rotarod or grip strength test
• mice treated with risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic drug, show attenuation of hyperactivity; risperidone also reduces activity of wild-type mice
• females show a reduced maximum run speed on the treadmill

homeostasis/metabolism
• females show a reduced maximum run speed on the treadmill
