Abstract excerpt
The prion glycoprotein (PrPC) is highly expressed in the nervous system as well as in other organs. Its functional roles in behavior have been examined mainly in non co-isogenic, wild-type and PrPC-deficient mice, which showed both age- and genotype-dependent differences. In general, however, effects of genetic background upon behavioral tests are mostly unclear when applied to aging rodents. The present study...
