growth/size/body
• at 2 months of age, mice show a significant reduction in body weight relative to wild-type controls
• mice lag behind in postnatal growth relative to wild-type controls

behavior/neurological
• mice show a significant increase in the number of open arm visits and % of time spent on the open arms in the elevated plus-maze, indicating decreased anxiety-related behavior

nervous system
• input-output relationship of fEPSPs of hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses versus fiber volley amplitudes over a range of stimulation intensities indicates that basal excitatory neurotransmission is reduced relative to wild-type controls
• the ratios of maximal fEPSP amplitudes over the amplitudes of the pre-spike are significantly decreased relative to wild-type controls
• similar stimulation intensities evoke comparable presynaptic volleys but reduced fEPSPs relative to wild-type controls
• acute hippocampal slices show increased paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) of fEPSPs relative to wild-type controls

growth/size/body
• at 2 months of age, mice show a similar reduction in body weight as single Vamp2tm1Sud heterozygotes
• mice lag behind in postnatal growth relative to wild-type controls

behavior/neurological
• in the elevated plus-maze test, mice show a higher increase in the number of open arm visits and % of time spent on open arms than single Vamp2tm1Sud heterozygotes, indicating a greater reduction in anxiety-related behavior

nervous system
• mice display a stronger reduction in basal synaptic transmission than single Vamp2tm1Sud heterozygotes
• the ratios of maximal fEPSP amplitudes over the amplitudes of the pre-spike are significantly lower than those observed in single Vamp2tm1Sud heterozygotes
• mice show a stronger facilitation of PPF than single Vamp2tm1Sud heterozygotes
