behavior/neurological
|
• mice are incapable of completing pre-training tasks for the touchscreen pairwise discrimination test, showing a trend towards completing fewer trials in stage 1, significantly fewer trials is stage 2, and require more days to reach criterion in stage 3
|
|
• mice show reduced activity in the open field

nervous system
|
• hippocampal neurons exhibit fewer mushroom-like spines
|
|
• hippocampal neurons exhibit a greater number of immature thin spines
|
|
• marker analysis indicates a change in postsynaptic density architecture
|
|
• pyramidal-like hippocampal neurons show reduced miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) frequency, without changes in mEPSC amplitude

behavior/neurological
N |
• mice exhibit normal learning and memory in a Morris water maze
|
|
• mice exhibit less time exploring the open arms of an elevated plus maze compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit increased latency to crossing a bright area in a light-dark emergence test compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal thigmotaxis in an open field and time spent on either side of the box in the light-dark emergence test
|
|
• resulting in skin lesions
|
|
• mice prefer to interact with an empty cage rather than a social partner unlike wild-type mice
• mice spend less time interacting with a social partner than wild-type mice
• mice fail to spend more time with a novel social partner unlike wild-type mice
• social withdrawal is not alleviated by cross fostering pups with wild-type dams
|
|
• mice occasionally exhibit handling-induced seizures unlike wild-type mice
• however, no spontaneous seizures are observed
|
nervous system
|
• however, no spontaneous seizures are observed
• mice occasionally exhibit handling-induced seizures unlike wild-type mice
|
|
• mice exhibit striatal hypertrophy compared with wild-type mice
|
|
• medium spiny neurons exhibit neuronal hypertrophy with increased complexity of dendritic arborization, total dendritic length, and surface area compared to in wild-type mice
• spine density is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• the neck width of medium spiny neuron spines is slightly larger than in wild-type mice
|
|
• mice exhibit abnormal post-synaptic density composition compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• reduced frequency and peak amplitude in medium spiny neurons
• however, miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency and amplitude in the hippocampal CA1 sub-region are normal
|
integument
|
• at 3 to 6 months of age, mice exhibit pronounced skin lesions with varying degrees of penetrance due to excessive self-grooming unlike wild-type mice

|
behavior/neurological
|
• in the touchscreen pairwise discrimination task, mice are slower to reach criterion and exhibit trends toward making more errors (first trial errors) and more correction errors than wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal open field activity and sociability in the three chamber test
