Do transmembrane domain neuregulin 1 mutant mice exhibit a reliable sensorimotor gating deficit?

Abstract excerpt

Evidence suggests that the heterozygous transmembrane domain mutant mouse model for the schizophrenia candidate gene neuregulin 1 (Nrg1 HET) exhibits a deficit in prepulse inhibition (PPI). However, not all mouse models for Nrg1 exhibit PPI deficits. Thus, our study intended to clarify the severity of the initially described PPI deficit in Nrg1 HET mice. For this, Nrg1 mutant mice and wild type-like littermates...
