nervous system
|
• thalamic neuronal degeneration, age of onset 50 - 60 days
|
|
• olfactory mitral cell degeneration, slow and progressive
|
|
• climbing fibers never contact Purkinje cells
(J:23733)
• symmetrical regions of more resistant cells but most disappear eventually
(J:106414)
|
|
• age of onset, 15 - 18 days
|
|
• atrophic dendritic trees
|
|
• cell loss begins at 3 weeks of age and progresses rapidly
• about 1% of initial population remains at 2 months of age
|
|
• granule cell degeneration, partial loss following Purkinje cell degeneration
|
|
• photoreceptor cell degeneration, age of onset, 18 - 25 days
• complete over the course of 1 year
|
vision/eye
|
• photoreceptor cell degeneration, age of onset, 18 - 25 days
• complete over the course of 1 year
