N normal phenotype
nervous system
• mice exhibit an approximate 70% reduction in the calcium current of dissociated Purkinje cells
• Purkinje cells are more sensitive to the Ca(v)1.2 channel blocker nimodipine and the Ca(v)2.2 channel blocker omega-conotoxin-GVIA
• whole-cell currents in Purkinje cells are much less sensitive to the Ca(v)2.1 blocker omega-conotoxin-MVIIC
• however, mice do not exhibit abnormalities in cerebellar anatomy or gross Purkinje cell death

behavior/neurological
N
• mice do not exhibit obvious motor abnormalities at baseline
• common triggers like caffeine and EtOH do not elicit episodic motor dysfunction
