nervous system
• dorsoventral and mediolateral expansion, predominantly of the collicular (tectal) and tegmental regions of the midbrain
• increased neuronal activation throughout the cortex and reduced activation in the posterior brain

behavior/neurological
N
• mice exhibit normal performance in a Y-maze, elevated plus maze, and Morris water maze
• improved hippocampal-dependent fear-context memory
• reduced motor performance and impaired motor function on a rotarod
• however, mice do not exhibit ataxia and have normal gaits
• in PhenoMaster cages and open field tests

craniofacial
• varying degrees of cranial alterations from normal to moderately domed

growth/size/body

skeleton
• varying degrees of cranial alterations from normal to moderately domed
