behavior/neurological
• impaired long-term, but not short-term, memory for the social transmission of food preference
• long-term memory formation for cued, contextual, and trace fear conditioning and in passive avoidance are not impaired
|
• spatial long term memory formation is delayed
• mutants spend less time in the target quadrant than wild-type, search randomly, and spend similar times in all quadrants in the hidden platform Morris water maze, however overtraining results in normal spatial long term memory

nervous system
• lack of late, but not early, long term potentiation at the CA1 synapse
