behavior/neurological
• hypersensitive to amphetamine treatment (4 mg/kg) induced increase in locomotor activity
|
• deficits in long term memory indicated by reduced time spent in the target quadrant of a Morris water maze at day 7
|
• slower learners in a Morris water maze
|
• in a forced swim test spend more time swimming and less floating
• treatment with lithium restores activity to control levels
• following 3 weeks of chronic social defeat stress mice spend more time floating and less time actively swimming
|
• spend more time in the center of an open field and enter the inner zone more often compared to controls
• however, distance traveled is not different from controls
• spend more time in the lit zone of a dark-light box
• treatment with lithium reduces the time spent in the center of an open field
• following 3 weeks of chronic social defeat stress, entries into the inner zone and time spent in the center are reduced unlike in similarly treated controls
|
• spend more time investigating a novel object
|
• increased activity in the first 2 dark phases in a novel environment
• however, in an open field test distance traveled is not different from controls
|
nervous system
• increase dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex, striatum, nucleus accubens, and hippocampus following amphetamine treatment, compared to treatment matched controls
|
• significant decrease in long term potentiation after high-frequency stimulation in CA3-CA1 synapses
|
• increase in the frequency of AMPA receptor mediated miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents in CA1 pyramidal neurons
|
• decreased frequency of GABAA receptor mediated miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex, striatum, nucleus accubens, and hippocampus following amphetamine treatment, compared to treatment matched controls
