ABSTRACT:
The present invention features transgenic mice models for gene function, wherein the transgenic mice are characterized by having altered serotonin 5-HT6 receptor gene function. The transgenic mice may be either homozygous or heterozygous for a disruption in the endogenous 5-HT6 gene. Transgenic mice homozygous for a disruption in the endogenous 5-HT6 gene display a phenotype of increased anxiety behavior including diminished investigation of foreign objects and an elevation in stretched attend postures.
