nervous system

abnormal brain interneuron morphology ( J:147571 )

• calretinin positive interneurons of the medial prefrontal cortex are increased

• total number of GABAergic interneurons of the prefrontal cortex are unaffected

• 7% reduction of parvalbumin positive interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex

• calbindin positive interneurons of the medial prefrontal cortex are slightly decreased

abnormal nervous system physiology ( J:147571 )

abnormal synaptic plasticity ( J:147571 )

• robust spike time dependent potentiation lasting longer than 30 minutes resulting from pairing presynaptic with subsequent post-synaptic action potential induced layer V pyramidal neuron stimulation

abnormal inhibitory postsynaptic currents ( J:147571 )

• spontaneous IPSC in layer V pyramidal neurons is markedly reduced in the presence of AMPA and NMDA receptor antagonist

• frequency is reduced by half

• glutamate receptor function as determined by rise time and decay time is unaffected
