N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit a decrease in freezing behavior in contextual fear conditioning indicating that mice are deficient in contextual fear memory
• mice exhibit a decrease in freezing behavior in cued fear conditioning indicating that mice are deficient in cued fear memory
• in the Morris water maze, mice exhibit a longer latency to find the platform during training, indicating impaired hippocampus-dependent spatial learning
• during the probe trail of the Morris water maze, mice spend less time searching the platform quadrant and mice cross the platform area much less than controls, indicating impaired hippocampus-dependent spatial memory
• however, mice exhibit normal short-term memory

cellular
• synaptic vesicles isolated from the brain show reduced glutamine levels
• however, levels of transmitters such as glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine are not different in synaptic vesicles

homeostasis/metabolism
• synaptic vesicles isolated from the brain show reduced glutamine levels

nervous system
• synaptic vesicles isolated from the brain show reduced glutamine levels
• however, levels of transmitters such as glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine are not different in synaptic vesicles
