N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
N
• mice exhibit normal locomotor activity in an open field test
• male mice exhibit impaired performance in the Morris Water maze compared with wild-type mice
• male, but not female, mice exhibit reduced spontaneous alternation in a Y-maze compared with wild-type mice
• however, number of arm entries is normal and treatment with IGF2 rescues phenotype
• male mice exhibit increased immobility in a forced swim test compared with wild-type mice

nervous system
N
• mice exhibit normal morphological development of the brain
• mice exhibit normal apoptosis in the lateral ventricle and hippocampal dentate gyrus
• adult neural progenitor cells exhibit decreased proliferation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus compared to in wild-type mice
• IGF2-stimulated neural progenitor cell proliferation is increased in vitro and in vivo compared with wild-type cell
• however, proliferation in the subventricular zone is normal
