The heterozygous reeler mouse: behavioural phenotype

Behavioural Brain Research
Jana Podhorna, Michael Didriksen

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate whether heterozygous reeler mice (+/rl) could be used as a genetic mouse model of schizophrenia, as previously suggested [J. Med. Chem. 44 (2001) 477]. The behavioural phenotype of male and female +/rl mice (young adult: 50-70 days old, and fully adult: >75 days old) was compared to their wild type (+/+) littermates. A complex behavioural test battery was employed: Irwin test, rotarod, spontaneous locomotor activity, social behaviour, light-dark transition test, startle response and prepulse inhibition, and hot-plate test. Overall, +/rl mice did not differ from their +/+ littermates at either age, although fully adult +/rl male mice spent more time engaged in social investigation. Some of the behavioural measures investigated were influenced by gender. Young female mice were more active in the light/dark transition test than males, while males were more aggressive than females during social interaction. In addition, performance on the rotarod was shown to deteriorate with age. Our data are in agreement with previous findings [Soc. Neurosci. Abst. 27 (2001) 238; J. Psychopharmacol. 17 (2003) A43], but contrary to those of Costa et al. [Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 2 (2002) 56], although mice us...Continue Reading
