Abstract excerpt
α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor GluA1 subunit-deficient (GluA1-/-) mice display novelty-induced hyperactivity, cognitive and social defects and may model psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression/mania. We used c-Fos expression in GluA1-/- mice to identify brain regions responsible for novelty-induced hyperlocomotion. Exposure to a novel cage for 2 h...
