Mouse lines carrying:
Slc17a7tm1Bros mutation (0 available); any Slc17a7 mutation (41 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• 24 hours following the sample phase, mice do not discriminate the novel object whereas wild-type mice do
• in a forced-swimming test, mice spend more time immobile compared to wild-type mice
• mice are more anxious in a light-dark exploration test in that mice spend less time in the white area and crossed fewer lines compared to wild-type mice

nervous system
• GABA levels in the frontal cortex and dorsal hippocampus are reduced

Find Mice Using the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
Mouse lines carrying:
Slc17a7tm1Lex mutation (2 available); any Slc17a7 mutation (41 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
nervous system
• field EPSP responses increase faster with increased signal strength than for controls
• increased response with increased signal strength fails to reach the level seen for controls
• reduced LTP as a result of theta burst stimulation
• controls demonstrate a saturated response after the second series while homozygotes continue to show small increases
• maintenance is at a lower level than in controls

behavior/neurological
• initial spatial learning ability in a Morris water maze is similar to controls
• slower in relearning platform location when the platform is moved to a different quadrant
