Phenotypic Profile
Category Entity Quantity Experimental Paradigm Age at Testing
Motor phenotype Hyperactivity1
Increased
Description: Increased total distance traveled and increased number of ambulatory episodes, compared to nl3-cko littermate controls
Exp Paradigm: Open field test, illuminated 60-minute session

Open field test 6 weeks
Neurophysiology Miniature post synaptic current amplitude: excitatory2
Decreased
Description: Mutants show decreased amplitude of climbing-fiber excitatory postsynaptic currents compared to controls.
Exp Paradigm: Climbing fibers were identified by their characteristic all-or-none response.

Whole-cell current clamp 1.2 months
Molecular profile Targeted expression2
Decreased
Description: Mutants show decreased expression of nlgn3 compared to controls.
Exp Paradigm: Calbindin and actin are used as loading controls.
