behavior/neurological
N
• mice exhibit a normal acoustic startle profile, prepulse inhibition, motor function, hippocampal synaptic plasticity, exploratory behavior in an open field, behavior in an elevated O maze, conditioned taste aversion, and corticosterone levels at circadian trough and peak
• mice exhibit impaired learning of the water-maze task
• mice exhibit deficits in measures of working memory on the radial maze
• mice display increased horizontal and vertical exploratory activity toward a novel object that is not associated with a general increase of locomotor activity, however show a normal approach response toward the novel object

nervous system
• aberrant layout of the mossy fibers is seen; however, the hippocampal cornu ammonis and dentate gyrus are normal

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• tamoxifen-treated mice show no increase in food intake compared to controls, indicating that sodium intake is similar among all animals
• when 8 week-old mice received 1 mg of tamoxifen for 5 consecutive days, then were put on a standard diet and sacrificed 10 days later, plasma aldosterone levels were elevated compared to controls
• tamoxifen-treated mice challenged with a low-sodium diet showed a significant increase in urinary sodium excretion

renal/urinary system
• tamoxifen-treated mice challenged with a low-sodium diet showed a significant increase in urinary sodium excretion
• tamoxifen-treated mice on a low-sodium diet show a significant increase in 24 hour urine volume compared to untreated mutants or treated controls; increase is greater than that measured for mutants expressing a constitutive Aqp2-cre transgene
