behavior/neurological
N
• mice exhibit normal behavior in the elevated plus maze, the light dark box test for anxiety, the marble burying assay, 3-chamber assay for sociability, on the accelerating rotarod mice exhibit and spatial working memory in the spontaneous alternation Y-maze test
• in the contextual fear conditioning test, mice freeze for similar amounts of time as wild-type mice on day 1 of the test, indicating no impairment in contextual fear learning, however mice show altered memory extinction on day 2, spending more time freezing
• P6 pups take more time to right themselves than wild-type pups in a surface-righting test
• mice show decreased acoustic startle response
• females, but not males, show a small, but significant decrease in forelimb grip strength at 13 weeks of age

growth/size/body
• P6 pups weigh less than wild-type pups

hearing/vestibular/ear
• 9-week-old mice show an auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold increase at low frequency stimulation (4 and 8 kHz)
• 18-week-old mice show increased ABR thresholds at the stimulation frequency of 8 and 16 kHz
• however, no gross abnormalities in the organ of Corti at E18 and P2 are seen and there is no change in distortion product otoacoustic emission threshold
• mice display hearing defects

muscle
• increase in righting time and decreased grip strength suggests neonatal hypotonia

nervous system
• decrease in caudate putamen volume
• however, no differences are seen in neuronal cell density in the somatosensory cortex and striatum
• mice exhibit a smaller hippocampal volume and increased volume in other brain regions such as neocortex and caudate putamen
• mice exhibit impaired synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus
• long-term potentiation is largely absent in the hippocampus
• long-term depression (LTD) is impaired; hippocampal slices fail to maintain the LTD induced by low-frequency stimulation

vision/eye
N
• 8-week-old mice do not show decreased visual contrast sensitivity

hearing/vestibular/ear
• basal cochlea has disorganized hair cells and an excess of inner hair cells, and the apex has extra rows of outer hair cells
• the utricular macula is reduced from an ovate to a trapezoid shape
• the saccular macula is often attached to the utricular macula and cochlear base
• the utricle and saccule fail to properly separate
• transheterozygotes have ABR thresholds 25-50 dB higher than controls at 1 month of age

nervous system
• basal cochlea has disorganized hair cells and an excess of inner hair cells, and the apex has extra rows of outer hair cells
