Homozygous Dab1scm mutants with cell ectopias in cerebellar cortex, hippocampus, and neocortex were compared with non-ataxic heterozygous and wild-type controls in spontaneous alternation and Morris water maze tests. Although there were no group differences in alternation rates, wild-type and heterozygote groups alternated above chance levels, whereas homozygous Dab1scm mutants did not. In the Morris water maze, Dab1scm mutants were impaired in both hidden and visible platform subtests. The deficits in spontaneous alternation and water maze measures reproduce the phenotype previously described in Relnrl-Orl mutants, attributed to disturbance of the same molecular pathway involving reelin.
⺠Dab1scm mutants have ectopias in cerebellum and hippocampus. ⺠Dab1scm mutants were impaired in spontaneous alternation. ⺠Dab1scm mutants were impaired in water maze. ⺠Dab1scm phenotype resembles that of Relnrl-Orl mutants. ⺠Similar behavioral results are found for the same molecular pathways.
