Age-dependent impairment of eyeblink conditioning in prion protein-deficient mice.

Age-dependent impairment of eyeblink conditioning in prion protein-deficient mice.

Mice lacking the prion protein (PrP(C)) gene (Prnp), Ngsk Prnp (0/0) mice, show late-onset cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) degeneration because of ectopic overexpression of PrP(C)-like protein (PrPLP/Dpl). Because PrP(C) is highly expressed in cerebellar neurons (including PCs and granule cells), it m...
