Phenotypic Profile
Category Entity Quantity Experimental Paradigm Age at Testing
Neurophysiology Neuronal activation1
Increased
Description: Mutants show a larger number of c-fos positive cells in the dorsomedial striatum (dms) following the early visual discrimination session, compared to controls. mutants show no change in the number of c-fos positive cells in the dorsomedial striatum (dms) following the late visual discrimination session, compared to controls. mutants show no change in the number of c-fos positive cells in the dorsolateral striatum in the early visual discrimination phase, compared to controls, although both mutants and controls show an increase in the number of c-fos positive cells in the late session compared to the early visual discrimination session.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Immunohistochemistry Adult
Repetitive behavior Repetitive digging1
Increased
Description: Mutants buried more marbles than controls.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Marble-burying test Adult
Repetitive behavior Perseveration1
Increased
Description: Mutants show higher number of correction trials as a ratio of errors (perseveration index) in the early discrimination sessions, compared to controls. mutants show no change in perseveration index in the late discrimination sessions compared to controls.
Exp Paradigm: Touching the incorrect stimulus in the correction trials was assayed as a measure of perseveration.

Operant conditioning paradigm Adult
Social behavior Nest building behavior1
Increased
Description: Mutants shredded more of the provided nestlets than controls, indicating an increase in repetitive behavior.
Exp Paradigm: NA

Nest building assay Adult
Learning & memory Reward reinforced choice behavior1
Decreased
Description: Mutants show no change in the pre-training phase compared to controls. mutants needed more trials to reach criterion for reward and performed more correction trials, compared to controls, in the visual discrimination task. mutants showed fewer correct responses in the early phase of the visual discrimination task compared to controls. mutants show no change in capacity to ultimately attain the same level of accuracy as controls.
Exp Paradigm: Mice are subjected to a touchscreen-based visual discrimination task involving discrimination of two stimuli for a liquid reward. pre-training included habituation, initial touch, must touch, must initiate, and punish incorrect, phases.

Operant conditioning paradigm Adult
Learning & memory Cognitive flexibility1 No change Operant conditioning paradigm Adult
Not Reported: Circadian sleep/wake cycle,  Communications,  Developmental profile,  Emotion,  Immune response,  Maternal behavior,  Molecular profile,  Motor phenotype,  Neuroanatomy / ultrastructure / cytoarchitecture,  Physiological parameters,  Seizure,  Sensory,
