behavior/neurological
• mice did not improve performance in the cued version of Morris water maze
• mice do not improve time spent or distance travelled on rotarod as compared to controls
• mice visit target hole less than controls in Barnes maze test
• mice show no preference for target quadrant in Morris water maze during the probe trial, although they perform similar to controls in acquisition phase
• mice revisit arms of Y-maze more often than controls, with less spontaneous alternations
• mice consume more food and water during the dark cycle than controls
• mice consume more food and water during the dark cycle than controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice run almost twice as much on treadmill as controls

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• following a first injection of low dose D-amphetamine mice spent less time in slow versus fast locomotion and exhibited an increase in distance travelled as compared to wild-type
• 20 minutes after injection with high dose D-amphetamine transgenic mice exhibit severe and confined stereotypic behaviors such as floor/wall sniffing

nervous system
• increased number of cholinergic interneurons, however, compartmental distribution of processes is similar to control
• cholinergic neuropil of the striatum is denser than neuropil found in controls
