“…of Wisconsin for exercise physiology experiments, mice display a mania-like phenotype Hyperactive day and night, ↓ immobility in FST, ↓ daytime sleep, sensitive to changes in photoperiod | Mania | [ 76 , 106 ,] | Genetically modified strains |
DNA polymerase subunit gamma (POLG) transgenic mice (Tg+/−) | POLG is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial (mt) DNA polymerase, POLG mutation was limited to brain neurons | Tg mice displayed a distortion in the daily circadian activity pattern, ↑ activity associated with estrous, antidepressant-induced mania | Mania | [ 107 ] |
Myshkin mice (Myk +/− ) | In vivo mutagenesis-derived strain, point mutation in Na+,K+-ATPase α3 | ↑ exploration of a novel object, ↑ open field activity and ↓ habituation, ↓ sleep, ↓ anxiety-like behaviors, ↑ sucrose pref. | Mania | [ 108 , 109 ,] |
Clock mutant mice | Identified through in vivo mutagenesis as a deletion of exon 19 that affects circadian rhythms | ↓ anxiety, ↑ locomotion, ↓ immobility in FST, ↑ sucrose pref., ↑ response to cocaine, ↓ sleep, mood cycling from daytime mania → night time euthymia | Mania → euthymia | [ 110 – 113 ] |
D-box binding protein mice (DBP−/−) | DBP is a transcription factor that regulates the period length of the cellular circadian clock | ↑ response to AMPH, ↑ activity after 4 weeks of chronic stress, ↑ activity after sleep deprivation | Depression → mania | [ 114 , 115 ,] |
Extracellular regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) KO mice | ERK pathway is a major signaling cascade mediating the effects of BDNF | ↑ activity, ↑ reward seeking, ↓ immobility in FST, ↑ response to AMPH | Mania | [ 116 ] |
Histidine triad nucleotide binding protein 1 (HINT1-/-) mice | Identified as a risk gene for BD by GWAS, regulates activities of GPCRs and NMDA receptors in brain | ↑ activity, ↓ anxiety, ↑ aggression, ↑ sucrose pref., ↓ immobility in FST, ↑response to apomorphine or AMPH, switch from mania → depression after acute stress | Mania → depression | [ 117 , 118 ,] |
SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 2 (Shank2) mice | Shank2 mice were gen... |
