Synaptic plasticity markers expression is impaired in the cerebral cortex of KO mice. mRNA expression of Egr‐1, Arc‐1, and BDNF in the total brain and their mRNA and protein in the cortex of WT and KO mice by RT‐PCR and western blotting. Data are shown as mean ± SEM of seven animals per group (WT and KO), each in duplicate. *P < .05 and ***P < .001 vs WT by unpaired Student's t test
