N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• increased active awake state, normal awake inactive state, and decreased slow wave sleep
• although no differences are found in sensory gating during pre-pulse inhibition using auditory stimuli, there is increased latency to withdraw the foot from the hotplate
• EEG traces show increased epileptiform discharges
• increased susceptibility to pentylenetetrazol induced seizures an resulting death

cellular
• normal brain development and no degeneration seen at 18 months of age compared with wildtype, but twice as many microglia are found in the striatum

nervous system
• EEG traces show increased epileptiform discharges
• increased susceptibility to pentylenetetrazol induced seizures an resulting death
• normal brain development and no degeneration seen at 18 months of age compared with wildtype, but twice as many microglia are found in the striatum
• normal brain development and no degeneration seen at 18 months of age compared with wildtype, but twice as many microglia are found in the striatum
• increased as measured by EEG at approximately 3.5 month of age
• increased as measured by EEG at approximately 3.5 month of age

hematopoietic system

homeostasis/metabolism

immune system
• normal brain development and no degeneration seen at 18 months of age compared with wildtype, but twice as many microglia are found in the striatum
